I recently had a site that I feed go down for awhile. When it came back up, I found that instead of immediately trying to catch up, C News wasn't sending any news to the other site. It turns out that sendbatches creates empty batches when you ask it to spool up news that has expired and then counts these empty batches in its calculations about how much news is spooled. If I waited long enough (like maybe several days), news would have started flowing again. One cure for this problem is to make queuelen only count non-empty (> 1k) batches (hint: use find) and to modify sendbatches to recheck queuelen before exiting. Does anyone have a better fix? How about something that doesn't send empty batches at all? -- Jon Zeeff zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us or b-tech!zeeff
