hobbitd_client purple?

All,

I started up the hobbit client on my hobbit server, and for a while (i.e.
days at least) all seemed
fine. Now the hobbitd_client is purple! I've restarted the hobbit client and
that doesn't fix it.

When I click on it, it says:
-Program Crashed
fatal signal caught

and yet if I do a ps:
# ps -ef | grep hobbitd_client
hobbit   24258 24250  0 14:00 ?        00:00:00 hobbitd_channel
--channel=client --log=/var/log/hobbit/clientdata.log hobbitd_client
hobbit   24259 24258  0 14:00 ?        00:00:00 hobbitd_client

it's running.

I would attach output from log files if I knew which ones anyone wanted to
see, so just let me know.

Thanks!
Jeff

The hobbitd_client is the server module for the client data. You can just kill it and hobbitlaunch will restart it.

For debug pls look at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html

Does this mean that I don't need to start the hobbit client seperatly then
on the server?
I did start it seperatly, so is that the reason it's purple?

Correct.

No, hobbitd_client is the server-side module that receives the reports
sent by the clients. It only shows up on your webpages when it crashes;
it doesn't send any reports when it runs normally which is why the
crash-report will usually turn purple. Use the command
   bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOBBITSERVERNAME hobbitd_client"
to remove this column from your webpages.

But I'd like to know why it crashed. See how you can help with that

At one point, there was a couple of core files. I absolutly stupidly removed
them, thinking
that if it was generating them, then it would generate more. I have never
since seen
a core file :-(  I will do the drop command and look every now and then for
a core. If I see
one, I will follow the bug report procedure.

Thanks for the help though, it is apprieciated.
