[Karl Berry]

Update of sr #108975 (project administration):

             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Mrph.  Well, the script /usr/src/infra/cvs/generate_log_accum.pl has a comment
at the top "Generates all projects CVSROOT/commitinfo and CVSROOT/loginfo.".

It calls AcquireReplicationLock(), and the definition of that function, in the
given Savane/Locks.pm, is using the script file as the lock file per (a
comment there shows) http://perl.plover.com/yak/flock/samples/slide006.html.

In other words, as long as the script is running, it is locked, so that
multiple instances will not be started.  That is a good outcome, at least.

Ordinarily, generate_log_accum.pl does not take long to run, as I recall.  It
runs from cron every hour (used to be every 20 minutes).  However, the process
currently running on vcs had been there almost 3 hours.  Presumably part and
parcel of the whole performance issue.  I killed it by hand.  We'll see if the
next one finishes in reasonable time.
