[Slashcode-general] writestatus and freshenup.pl

[Tom U. <edu...@lr...>]

Every time freshenup.pl runs via my slashd task it reports back: 3 Stories
Changed. This doesn't make sense because I have actually removed the DNS
for a full day such that noone could access the site (to be absolutely
certain that nothing was changing.) All the while, freshenup.pl reports 3
stories changed, no matter what.

I looked in the database and out of about 400 stories, 250 have
writestatus "archived" and 150 have writestatus "ok". None are "dirty". I
can't find anything in the logs or in the documentation that talks about
writestatus and it's effects on slashd or freshenup.pl but I think it has
some effects. I'd be grateful for any help possible on this subject as I
feel freshenup.pl and it's over-activity is causing load problems and
mysql connectivity problems.
