bayes.lock files haunting me...

[Kevin Miller]

I got the bayes.lock file blues again.  Read the MAQ, read the FAQ, read the
book.  I must be slow.

Sendmail
Suse 9.3
spamassassin 3.03
MailScanner 4.41.3

spam.assassin.prefs.conf
	bayes_auto_expire 0

MailScanner.conf
	Rebuild Bayes Every = 86400
	Wait During Bayes Build = yes
	Lock Type = posix

Root's crontab:
	0  5 * * * /usr/bin/sa-learn --force-expire > /dev/null 2>&1

I don't stop MailScanner to run the force-expire.

I don't get any bayes_expiry files anymore, but every day I get a couple
bayes.lock* files.  The timestamp is a couple minutes apart up to about 10
minutes apart and they all fall w/in a half hour up to about an hour and a
half.  I think around the same time of day that I last started MailScanner,
which makes me suspect the rebuild process.  In this case the times range
from 9:04 up to 9:48 am.  

Should I set "Rebuild Bayes Every = 0" and the Wait back to no?  I would
have thought that telling it to wait would have solved the problem.

Thanks...

...Kevin
