I'm running two winSMP clients on my Q6600 at the moment, loading each with batch files rather than running them as a service.

Often, when I come to my computer after the night or after lunch etc etc, I'll find in FAHmon that the clients appear to have hung - still using 100% of the CPU though. There won't have been anything written to the log file for a few hours. This can be when it checks that there are any results to send to the server or just randomly.

So, does anyone know if it's still processing and just not writing to the log for some reason or has it actually hung? Is the best thing to do here restart the client?

And talking of restarting the clients ... even shutting them down with Ctrl-C and giving them a few minutes to ensure they've written all data etc, on loading the clients again I'll sometimes find that there are files missing or that there is a communication error, meaning it has to start again. I've now lost 3 WUs at a large % complete like this :(.

Thoughts? Thanks guys :)
 
Had lots of hung units since the latest release of WinSMP here. :(

Have gone back to VMWare with two virtual machines running two clients each on the quad. Rock solid and more ppd.
 
Dodgy batch of WUs then? It was running quite happily for about a week before it started doing this a few days ago now. It's stalled again now - it was only going for 5 hrs.
 
did u update the Fah.exe ?? as per previous thread?

I have noticed a good few of my recent WU's have hung when i lose my network connection (stupid usb thingy!).

However i shut it down and restart and it's fine.
 
These are the updated winSMP clients from the FAH site. I thought a restart might have cured it, but it hasn't been.

At the moment they're running, but the times being reported in the logs are out. Anything to do with it? :confused:
 
UPS charge approximately $200 to ship PCs from the US to the UK. I'd imagine the reverse direction would be comparable (around £100).

I know this because one of my crunchers came from the US. :)
