<div>Ah, that explains why I have not been able to
reproduce this. I don't spawn (potentially) long running
jobs in this way. And anyway, my main production and
test nodes are on high bandwidth sites. <br>
<br>
What you could try is to add a '&' character before
the ") of each spawn command. That will start a new
process in background and the spawn should return
straight away.<span><font color="#888888"><br>

Hi Mike,<br>
By any chance do you have any entries
in your Spider crontab with<br>
'spawn'?<br>

Attached image shows the DX Spider
console… and the server’s<br>
telnet console. I sure wish I could
figure out why Spider freezes<br>
