Dear List,

this box has an axfrdns service setup on a given IP; for some reason we
changed providers and the IP is not available anymore; I forgot to
"down" this service (the box is not in production yet); so supervise has
been trying to "up" this service w/o success for some months now;

the service has been manually "down"ed already;

now look at that:

server:/var/service/axfrdns-ajato# ls
total 187376
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root        45 Apr  9  2008 Makefile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root         0 Nov  3 06:02 down
drwxr-sr-x 2 root root      4096 Apr 15  2008 env
drwxr-sr-x 3 root root      4096 Apr  9  2008 log
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root       165 Apr  9  2008 run
drwx--S--- 2 root root 191082496 Nov  3 06:03 supervise
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root        85 Apr  9  2008 tcp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      2079 Apr  9  2008 tcp.cdb

server:/var/service/axfrdns-ajato# ls -la supervise/
total 187360
drwx--S--- 2 root root 191082496 Nov  3 06:03 .
drwxr-sr-t 5 root root      4096 Nov  3 06:05 ..
prw------- 1 root root         0 Nov  3 06:03 control
-rw------- 1 root root         0 Apr  9  2008 lock
prw------- 1 root root         0 Apr  9  2008 ok
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root        18 Nov  3 06:03 status

why is the size of the "directory" supervise so big?
can I just remove and re-create it?

thanks for any help!

[]s,
