[Dxspider-support] Spider continues to freeze and/or restart on its own

Sun Mar 27 20:05:01 BST 2016

I also had Plesk installed.  I’ve removed it… wasn’t using it and looking to eliminate a cause.

I can't notice a pattern here.

I did see that perl 5.10.1 was installed.  I tried to install 5.22.1... looked successful... ran through the script... but the version still says 5.10.1.  I'm not sure if a reboot or restarting perl is necessary.

After I put all my spawns in the background, my node is running great!

Can you look at the uptime and figure out when it's freezing?  Is it the same time every day?  That would give you a great clue to track down what's going on!

If it's the same time every day, then it's something that gets triggered to run.  In that case, I would watch the log files live at that time and see what happens.

175 is the one I am running on GB7MBC Mike.  I also have the same
spawn commands as you do.  200 users at the moment and up for 40 days
currently after a machine restart.  Stable as they come.  I can’t
imagine what’s causing your issue!
