Re: [cobalt-users] timeout on cgi scripts....

["Randall Clark" <wz297@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have the script performing sendmail function, it may be hanging on
sendmail.
Let us know if your script is using a sendmail function or not.  I will give
you the fix.
Also if your Raq was on another network at some time, you may have an old
config file under your network-scripts/ dir.  This causes some things to
hang once
and a while.

By the way, I have some scripts being called by Cron to do automatic DNS and
sendmail updates.
