Subj : Busy?

Hello There,

Of late I have been having an issue with "All nodes Busy" or busy files that 
keep Fidopoll or Mutil from running. Last weekend I was away and when I got 
home I found that Mystic hadn't polled out in a couple days. I had assumed that 
Mutil and/or Fidopoll would normally remove the busy file upon program 
termination. Also lately if were to do a manual poll using Fidopoll I am told 
that Fidopoll is already running when upon checking I find that it is in fact 
not running and file a busy file in the semaphore directory. When I delete the 
busy file then I can poll fine. For the moment I can create a Bash script that 
will test for a "Stale" busy file and if exists remove prior to running the 
necessary program.
Any thoughts or anyone else seeing this behavior? 

Jeff
