Hi,
The T-1 went down for a day and requests got caught in a “loop” and produced
almost 700 of the same three requests sent. Is there a way I can clear all
this out at once or do I have to do it one at a time thru the web interface?

A short Perl script I use for this; requires Expect.pm (see CPAN); wants
request serial numbers as arguments. I generally use rtq | awk to generate
the serial numbers.
(\Za is an evil hack to wait for EOF… it can never match.)
use Expect;
my $rt;
foreach my $req (@ARGV) {
$rt = Expect->spawn(‘rt’, ‘-kill’, $req);
$rt->expect(30, ‘:’);
$rt->print(“yes\r”);
$rt->expect(30, ‘\Za’);
}

I think expect also is an evil hack. I guess it’s just the old cli that
is evil. If you know the API, it should be almost as easy to make a perl
script that calls the right subs … or maybe hack the cli not to ask for
“yes”. Anyway, I’m lazy, so I always fix such things directly through the
sql;
update each_req set status='dead' where serial_num in (....);
well, of course that is an even more evil hack, as it doesn’t create
transactions as it should.

Yep. Or at least highly annoying.
