If it is a VM WIN 2008 server it sounds normal (yes, my bias against VMs is showing again).
Others can comment about it being WIN and that LINUX or other UNIX survives processes better. Dan From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Joel Sender Sent: August 20, 2014 5:02 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Run Process fails without error message ** Got a head-scratcher here: Env: ARS 8.1.1, custom (e.g. SIMPLE) application on Win 2008 server. A filter executes a RUN PROCESS that issues an OS command that writes a PDF file. Everything was working fine for weeks, but this AM it failed. Filter logs show the command, but no results. To debug, the OS command was changed to ‘COPY file1 to file2’ This failed as well, again, without a log entry. We rebooted the server, without making any other changes, and now it is working. We replaced the COPY command with the original command, and it, too, is working. ALSO, this same server will sometimes fail to run ARPLUGINs (logging in shows an error), and a reboot fixes it, too. Has anyone else seen this strange behavior? My only workaround is to reboot every night.
