Hi,

I've had a few instances where the z-way server appears to have crashed.

Not quite sure why its happening :-/

I'm looking at the quickest way to get the server back up.

Reboot the PI or /etc/init.d/Z-Way restart.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Neil

Does it happen regularly? Is there any crash reason in the log?

Surely service restart is faster than restarting whole Pi.

Note that /etc/init.d/Z-Way is renamed to /etc/init.d/z-way-server starting version 1.7.0 (it is already renamed in release candidates).

It's happened twice of late... are the logs persistant? Where are they located? I'll have a look

They're in /var/log. Either Z-Way.log or z-way-server.log, depending on software version.

Version 1.7.0-rc3 delivers a lot of stability improvements, so your issue may be already solved.

Think i'm running the 1.4.0 :-/

thanks for the log locations, looking now

Jeez, the Z-Way.log is HUGE

I'll have to delete it and see how it goes...

Is logging configurable?

Version 1.4.0 and later handles SIGHUP, so you may install logrotate to archive old logs.

Also you may set log level in config.xml (0 to 6 for log-level and 0 to 4 for http-log-level)

I think for the minute, i'm looking to reduce it...

i might rename it on boot... to start new one

Latest install script configures logrotate to 10M * 4 files. So the file will not be so huge anymore. Just update and it will be configured automatically.

Think i'm running 1.4.1, whats the current version?

Will i lose any functionality?

Can you please remind me how to upgrade?

Thanks

Neil
