One more symptom: in my scheme to keep all the datasources alive forever by hitting them periodically, one thing fails. Eventually, even though there are no expiry hangs, witango's CPU usage climbs to the point of pegging it and making the system slow to a crawl. I've got a developer trying to cr

Using Navicat, I monitor data connections to mysql. I can see when they go past expiry. On the 'good' server, they disappear. On the 'evil' server, they keep on going. If I kill the connection that's past expiry, one of two things happen: - witango hangs and gives error messages and I have to resta

Unfortunately, even with datasource connections being immortal, the CPU usage for witangod is climbing to 60% and upward. There's something else that's going on in witango that's unhappy. On 3/3/05 11:20 AM, "Roland Dumas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ok, not yet figured out why one machine clon

That's why I thought witango_watch might be relevant. You could look for trouble (in the events log), then run a taf that saves user state and write a message to the events log. When witango_watch sees that you've saved state, you could restart and restore state. You need to know a little

We have a daemon that restarts witango when it crashes. Very efficient. Since the crashes aren't associated with transactions, we don't end up with database corruption from them. We do, however, lose user sessions. When witango restarts after a crash, the first thing it does is expire all the user

Roland, While it's not ready for a public release, you might be able to use my witango_watch daemon to help out. I built this to overcome the bug in startupurl (witango can't issue a url to itself, so you can't use startup url to initialize your apps). But you can use this for anything that's
