I had a working setup that syncronized for a day or so, and now has
started giving this error on every run of the cron:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: posix_getsid(): Argument #1
($process_id) must be of type int, string given in
..../config/scripts/expire.php:10 Stack trace: #0
..../config/scripts/expire.php(10):
posix_getsid() #1 {main} thrown in
..../config/scripts/expire.php
on line 10

I also got this error in systemd log:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: posix_getsid(): Argument #1
($process_id) must be of type int, string given in
..../config/scripts/spoolnews.php:68
Dec 18 15:19:12 php[1355]: Stack trace:

Dec 18 15:19:12 php[1355]: thrown in
..../config/scripts/spoolnews.php
on line 68

What should I look at to troubleshoot?

It's trying to get the session id of the process id:

$lockfile = $lockdir . '/' . $config_name . '-spoolnews.lock';
$pid = file_get_contents($lockfile);
if (posix_getsid($pid) === false || ! is_file($lockfile)) {

This is to avoid running expire.php if it's already running.

I'm not sure how $pid could be a string. It's written by:

file_put_contents($lockfile, getmypid()); // create lockfile

What does spoolnews.lock contain?

If it looks ok, maybe try changing this:

$lockfile = $lockdir . '/' . $config_name . '-spoolnews.lock';
$pid = file_get_contents($lockfile);
if (posix_getsid($pid) === false || ! is_file($lockfile)) {

To this (@ line 8 in expire.php):

$lockfile = $lockdir . '/' . $config_name . '-spoolnews.lock';

if (is_file($lockfile)) {
$pid = file_get_contents($lockfile);
} else {
$pid = false;
} if (posix_getsid($pid) === false || ! is_file($lockfile)) {

in expire.php. (I have not tested this change)

All the *spoolnews*.lock files were empty files. I deleted them and ran
the cron and the error went away. Perhaps a null string was being read
by the script?

It also caused the web portal page data to disappear. I haven't figured
that out yet. Probably because the error killed the job? The group
listings disappeared so that there was just a blank page. Overboard
still worked but the main page was empty.

I deleted all the lock files and re-ran the cron again and the web
pages were re-built and now seem to work.

Glad it's working!

I'll make the change in expire.php I posted about. It can't hurt.
