<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'm struggling to understand why (one
presumes) DXSpider is consuming so much disk space. <br>
<br>
On GB7DJK I have 20 years of data<br>
<br>
spots 3.4G<br>
logs 5.5G<br>
debug 1.3G<br>
<br>
debug is only so big because I have several users and node links,
each day is 120-150MB and there will be up to 11 files. <br>
<br>
Is there any evidence in the debug files of restarts? (grep orft
debug/*)<br>
<br>
This is what a "normal" restart or stoppage from any signal except
KILL should look like:<br>
<br>
If you find that string in one of your debug files, what happens
before that? Specifically before the actual start string -
something like:<br>
<br>
1542243714^DXSpider V1.57, build 135 (git: c60ec0c[r]) started<br>

<br>
"orft we jolly well go" is the end of initialisation and "bye bye
everyone - bye bye" indicates the end of a controlled shutdown
(either by command or a TERM or other catchable signal). [ed:
(cough) older people in the UK may recognise these as catch
phrases from the TV and radio]<br>
<br>
They are there as erm.. "unusual" strings that one can grep for.<br>
