i know there has been posts about issues with poll.bsy hanging. so
instead of sticking with the most recent version, i backed down to the most recent stable version and still see poll.bsy hanging a few times a week!
anyway, i am running pi 32 bit and wondering if anyone has a solution or work-around for the ongoing issue.
I wrote a script that *I* trust. Please review it for yourself, I could be an idiot and all...

$ cat bsy.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Mystic BBS software .bsy file manager
# At times, Mystic leaves a poll.bsy, mutil.bsy, or mis.bsy file when it should # NOT be present. This script checks if fidopoll or mutil is running; if neither
# process is running (meaning those .bsy files should NOT be present) - it then # checks for any .bsy files that have been present for longer than 60 minutes
# and removes them if found. This helps prevent stale or orphaned .bsy files
# from causing issues with the system.
# Set the working directory to the Mystic installation directory WDIR="/home/pi/mystic"
# Change to the working directory
cd $WDIR
# Check if the 'mis poll' or 'mutil' is running.
# The \ps command ensures that we use the system's ps command, bypassing any
# aliases. If either are running, set output to "RUNNING", otherwise set it to # "NOT RUNNING".
F=$(\ps -ef | grep "mis poll" | grep -v grep >/dev/null; [ $? -gt 0 ] && echo "NOT RUNNING" || echo "RUNNING")
M=$(pidof mutil; [ $? -gt 0 ] && echo "NOT RUNNING" || echo "RUNNING")
# Find all .bsy files related to Mystic that have been modified more than 60
# minutes ago. The -mmin +60 option filters for files older than 60 minutes. B=$(find . -type f -name "*.bsy" -mmin +60 | grep echomail | wc -l)
# Display the status of fidopoll and mutil processes and the number of old .bsy # files found.
cat << EOF
Fidopoll pidof result: $F
Mutil pidof result: $M
Number of BSY files (older than 60 min): $B
EOF
# If there are any .bsy files older than 60 minutes, and neither fidopoll nor i # mutil is running, it means these .bsy files are likely orphaned and can be
# safely removed.
if [[ $B -gt 0 && ($F == "NOT RUNNING" && $M == "NOT RUNNING") ]]; then
# Inform the user that orphaned .bsy files are being cleared.
echo -e "\nClearing $B orphaned BSY files (older than 60 min)..."
# Loop through each .bsy file found and remove it.
for F in $(find . -type f -name "*.bsy" -mmin +60 | grep echomail); do
echo "Removing: $F"; rm $F
done
# Run the mailout process using mutil to ensure any queued mail is processed.
./mutil mailout
# Force a fidopoll to make sure the system is synchronized with other nodes.
./mis poll force
