Sabnzbd crashing daily

Post by bonez56 »

Hi,

I am running sabnzbdplus 0.53 on Ubuntu 10.04 server x86.
It has started crashing daily, and I've no idea why. It never used to crash.

I have had a quick look around in /var/log/syslog but I can't really see anything that would explain what is going on.
Is there somewhere else I should be looking for logs?

Also, it seems to crash when I'm downloading large >1gb files, but occasionally when downloading smaller files.

Does anyone know when 0.54 will be available by the official ubuntu repo? I am not using the unofficial repo.

Thanks

There were no crash-related fixes in 0.5.4.
What kind of feedback do you get about the crash from either SABnzbd or the OS?

I actually can't find any sort of feedback from Sab or the OS.

Do you know exactly where I should be looking?

Thanks

Does the OS give detailed crash report.
Have you looked at the log files created by SABnzbd (~/.sabnzbd/logs/sabnzbd.log) ?

I have a similar issue. And I seem to have noticed when it comes to large downloads is when I notice it.

sabnzbplus is meant to start as a service on my debian whenever it boots. but sometimes i come home and I find the service is down when i had left it up. what irritates me most is that whatever data had been downloaded for the particular is then lost and i have to restart the process.

Running Debian Sid

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache policy sabnzbdplus
sabnzbdplus:
  Installed: 0.5.4-1
  Candidate: 0.5.4-1
Starting a large download so will hopefully be able to come back with a log file.

I'm also having issues with it crashing pretty much daily, debian lenny x64, sabnzbd 0.5.6 downloaded from source, the only thing of significance i can find in the log file is:
WARNING::[__init__:141] Signal 15 caught, saving and exiting...                                    Not sure if anyone has seen this behavior before or not, i'd submit a bug report but i don't think that would be much help to anyone.

A program receives a "Signal 15" when the terminal window it was started from is closed.
Don't you run it in daemon mode?

Interesting, yes i do, i use the init script from the ubuntu repo to launch it with. I suspect that line was just logged while restarting the process then. When sabnzbd crashes the process is still running it just becomes unresponsive and so far that's the only thing i've been able to find in the debug log.

Frustrating as it is, I can give no directions to solve this.
On many Ubuntu systems it does work.
Without additional info, there nothing I can do.
