  • Mystic on Pi A47

    I've been fighting to get echomail to work after updating to A47 after the last crash. The semaphores aren't working at all in my system. Have the
    rest of you noticed this?
    I had an A39 backup which I put on and upgraded to A46 before i noticed any issues. I then upgraded to the current A47 2021/02/12 which is perhaps not current anymore. Anyway, ever since echomail didn't work, I've had to force ./mutil mailin.ini to get it to work. I finally added an hourly shell to do that and it works fine. Something is very wrong with the semaphores, I'll
    check for an updated A47 first. It may be something from upgrading, but I've been fighting with it since last month. Netmail may work, echomail didn't.
    I have found that work around (hourly shell script to do mailin).

    There was an April fools update: v1.12 A47 2021/04/01 and it does seem to
    have fixed the issue with semaphores. I shut off the mailin script and
    things seem to be working. So as usual, we need to keep up ;)

    Yep. I am having a similar issue with events not firing and semaphore not triggering.

    I had an A39 backup which I put on and upgraded to A46 before i noticed any issues. I then upgraded to the current A47 2021/02/12 which is
    perhaps not current anymore. Anyway, ever since echomail didn't work,

    That's a good work around. I guess I shall do that too.
