hi
i'm running freebsd 1.02 and inn 1.4sec. has anyone else had these problems?
on the forth pass of innwatch from either being kicked off from rc.news
or run manually both in foreground and backgroup it gives segmentation
fault errors continuosly until i kill the process. i've tried it with
all commands commented out of innwatch.ctl, same result.
this is part of the output of innwatch using sh -x ./innwatch -t 15
[it's already run this code 3 times ok]

the second problem is in innstat, when run from cron this code
echo 'Server connections:'
ctlinnd -t60 name '' 2>&1 \
| ${SED} -e '/^[ ]*$/d' \
| ${AWK} '{print length($0), $0}' \
| sort -n \
| ${SED} 's/^[0-9][0-9]* *//' \
| ${AWK} '
[code deleted]
gives
Server connections:
awk: cmd. line:2 fatal: can't stat fd 0 (Bad file descriptor)
it runs fine running innstat from the prompt. if i take out the
sorting lines and run
echo 'Server connections:'
ctlinnd -t60 name '' 2>&1 \
| ${SED} -e '/^[ ]*$/d' \
| ${AWK} '
[code deleted]
it runs ok.
thanx for your help
