dovecot-2.2.33.2_2

py27-certbot-0.19.0,1

I have been using the p5-certbot port without a problem until recently. It =
is
being run via cron:  /usr/local/bin/certbot -q renew --pre-hook "service
dovecot stop" --post-hook "service dovecot start". Until recently that work=
ed
fine. Now I have started receiving this error message:  "Another instance of
Certbot is already running." Try as I might, I cannot find another instance=
 of
"certbot" running.

Apparently, the only way to correct the problem is to reboot the system. Th=
is
only works until after the cron command has run one time, after which the
problem resurfaces.

I have confirmed that at least one other user is experiencing this problem.=
 He
stated that the problem does not occur if the command is only run via the
command line. He believes that certbot is waiting on the post-hook command,=
 but
only when it was ran from cron. I have not confirmed this, however.
