Client suddenly stops working

Hi,

Check this log:

After these messages appeared, the client stopped doing work (ps uxa shows 0% cpu, and 0.00 load on the machine). When I restarted the client about 12 hours after the event occured, it started doing work again. It's not very cool having to monitor whether or not the client stops doing work, since I usually don't touch this box :(

Here's what the client reports when starting up:

2005-12-18 14:30:08 [---] Starting BOINC client version 5.2.13 for i686-pc-linux-gnu
2005-12-18 14:30:08 [---] libcurl/7.14.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8 zlib/1.2.3

Any suggestions on what to do?

Regards,
chrisl83

Re: Client suddenly stops working

Hi chrisl83,

did the client resume computation after the restart? The quoted output is missing a line similar to:
... Resuming computation for result xxxxx using rosetta version xxx

I have seen similar events on a not so well equiped and very busy box. But restarting the client did always work. May be it's running out of memory. But I never found any entries in the system logs. Does any body know how the boinc client reports out of memory?

Regards,
Thomas Prause

Re: Client suddenly stops working

Hi, thanks for your reply,

Yes, it did resume work.

This box is not very busy, and was certainly not using much memory when this happened... confused
