[hobbit] BOARDBUSY messages in logs

[Stuffle, David]

I see, thanks.  My main goal is trying to get the mail acks to work.  That's
why I was digging through the log files.

Anyway, my mail acks are only sometimes working.  I haven't been able to
find a pattern to it yet so I will need to investigate more.  I do know
though that adding MESSAGE=something to the subject line when replying to an
email alert doesn't work.  Should that work, or am I misunderstanding
something?  I get this in the acklog (all one line):

 1109963670  126510  30  126510  np_filename_not_used  zenmaster.memory  red
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nAcked by: "Stuffle, David"  dstuffle at deltafaucet.com

Several times that I acked, I get nothing at all in the acklog.
Thanks,
David

This one is harmless, and happens when Hobbit shuts down. The master daemon
(hobbitd) sends a shutdown-message to all of the hobbitd_channel worker
modules, then marks the shared memory segments used for communication with
the modules for deletion. Depending on how fast the workers respond, they
may try to access the shared memory segment when it has been deleted, and
you'll get this message.

Which log files, specifically ? The only files that Hobbit normally updates
while running are the historical logs in the data/hist/ and data/histlogs/
directories - and they only get updated when there are status changes.
