[CSCMail-Users] Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default.

[Torsten M. <tmohr@s.netic.de>]

Hi,

normally i use cscmail-1.61, my favorite mail tool.

But now i have some problems, here's a list of what i did/what happened:

- I updated to Perl-5.6.0
- Some modules for cscmail were no longer available
- i reinstalled cscmail-1.61

Now cscmail starts, but when i now press the "Send & Receive"-Button,
there's a line on the console:
Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default.

When there's mail available i get something like:
ERROR: Date::Manip unable to determine TimeZone.
        Date::Manip::Date_TimeZone called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Date/Manip.pm line 620

Can anybody help me with that?


Best regards,

I had the same problem.  This is in the FAQ I think.  You have to set
the timezone manually in Manip.pm - or apparently get an updated version
of Manip.pm which isn't even in CPAN.  I chose the former, so I can't
really comment on the latter.  Worked for me.

This is something with Perl-5.6 .. I get the same error, but it still works
right... If I comment out the $SIG{CHLD} ='IGNORE'; line in cscmail you end up
with a ton of "zombie" cscget processes filling up your process table.	If you
leave it in, you get the "Can't ignore" error, but no processes, so it is
obviously ignoring them anyway! hehe  So, they changed something in 5.6
regarding $SIG's .. I'll look into it more when I get the time, but for now
thats a harmless error... CSCMail still works fine...
