Actions Hanging on "in progress" in 1.8.8rc1

[jroberson]

I was afflicted with the 1.8.7 "crash" so I went to 1.8.8rc1 but now I'm experiencing my actions (emails & jabber IMs) hanging at "in progress". Once I restart Zabbix_server the floodgates open and all the hung notifications burst through. Anybody else seeing the same thing?...

I'll start by saying I have searched these forums and beyond to find a solution to this and found lots of useful hints but no magic bullet yet.

I've been trying to set up email notifications using script media type for the purpose of using a gmail account.

Script taken...
