Hi all;
Screwing around with my-lathe.hal, the 270+ line rube goldberg mousetrap,
one of the things I always do is a test run to make sure I haven't goosed
the moose, in this instance forgetting that I had killed everything but the
computer with a master power switch, but had left it running, and I am ssh
-Y'd into the box from the house, in keeping with babying this tender knee.
So when I did a linuxcnc -l, I was advised it was already running, and did
I want to restart it? I entered a y. And got a bailout on one of the last
lines in the hal file, plus a couple screens worth of mewling about
errorBuffers not available. On repeating the command, it all worked.
Looks like it needs to wait additional time for the running session to
clean up its allocations, locks, etc before attempting to start a new
session. I don't do that all that often, but it bites me every time and
its probably something that ought to be addressed before 2.5.4 goes out.
Its also been my experience the box will do a hard crash in the immediate
future, requiring a power cycle, or a hard reset to recover.
Cheers, Gene
