[Dxspider-support] node hangs

[Bela Markus]

Hi Dirk,

just let you know that today morning I found my Spider dead. Telnet 
connections were accepted but there were no login prompt or any other 
string sent. A simple kill shell command was not enough to kill it, had 
to use 'kill -9' to restart. After that everything started normally. All 
other services on the server (COMPAQ DL380 dual processor rack mounted 
located at ISP premisses) were running normally, so I expect a Spider 
related issue.

I had no time to dig into debug/log files but will check later.

Regards... Béla, HA5DI
