Something up with my FAH?

Plasmoid · 15 May 2006 at 03:32

I havent been using my pc the last few days, got it running just right so i left it crunching away while i browsed some E3 stuff and was studying.

Just noticed i havent submitted a WU in almost a week so i opened my logs.

Seems something went very awry a few days ago, starting with it abandoning a WU mid-way through.

[00:15:33] Gromacs error.

Ok... so i can take one WU messing up and not getting the server on first try... only...

Ok... completly dead for almost 5 days then suddenly it just plain works. All through that time my pc was working fine and i never noticed anything off going on. Just a very bad turn of luck for me there or what?

It's starting to even out a little... now it seems 50:50 that it will get stuck in a cycle of death.

Trying to change the "Use IE settings" and some others to see if it helps.

Setting up a 2nd client with dealineless WU's for now.

Edit: So much for that...

Well... at least its sorting itself out.

Gah... made a fool of myself, was looking at the wrong log and everything... yet pasted the right one.

Is there a way to have both my main fah and backup fah client running as services or must one be running in a window?
