The web server (and likely others) cannot be terminated via semaphore file when they are in-use. Since new connections are accepted, the semaphore file is never checked and thus the server is never terminated.Solution: check for sem files even when in-use and disallow new connections when flagged for terminate (or recycle).

Re: Can't terminate server(s) under heavy load

Hi Rob

many thanks for your support through email. I have to confesss that's quite a change in the code/ways of installing the software.

I managed to "upgrade" at least basically my BBS, still I need to revisit lot of stuff, not sure all is perfectly fine yet.
I have re-read your instructions at https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:git and I am not entirely sure what I did wrong.
I compiled all the binaries, and all it's now showing in the "/sbbs/exec/", correct, but I started missing a number of files, so when loging in the BBS I was getting errors as the following: "!ERROR executing prextrn"
What I ended up doing is :
cp -pr /sbbs/repo/exec/load /sbbs/exec/
cp -pr /sbbs/repo/exec/*.js /sbbs/exec/

And it fixed all the errors I had at login.

Anyhow... It's late in here, but tmorrow I will re-read your instructions again as I might be missing something in the process.

As always, thanks for all your help Rob.

Yup, that's also covered on the wiki: https://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev#run-time_files

As always, thanks for all your help Rob.

No problem!

@rswindell Similarly, should there be an option to hangup/drop current terminal sessions when the reset flag is set?I think nntp and bbs/terminal sessions are really the only relatively long-lived sessions.
