Re: [hobbit] allevents stops updating after trimhistory



This was duplicated on SLES9, I killed hobbitd_history as suggested and new events appeared.

On Solaris 9 hobbit 4.1.2 and RedHat 4 hobbit 4.2 I ran trimhistory and
noticed the next day that no events were listed at the bottom of the bb2
page. Working on my 4.2 test system I found hist/allevents stopped
updating after running trimhistory. Restarting hobbit got it working
again. Hobbit should not require any additional restarts after running
trimhistory or it should be mentioned in the man page.

I think you're right about this. The hobbitd_history module keeps the
"allevents" file open while it is running, so trimhistory needs to
signal that it should re-open the new (truncated) file. Killing
hobbitd_history (it restarts automatically) fixes this, but that shouldn't be needed.
