Fahmon Hung issue

Post by racing4mat »

Fahmon is running in 2 PCs for 2 months perfectly. The PCs are networked and I run Fahmon on each PC, but on the 1st I'm monitoring the clients of the other too.
Today it decided to hung on both PCs the same time! I have noticed it hunged all clients since the date was changed to 1 Sep at 12:00AM. I can see only the progress, a Hung and no PPDs even if I check the Ignore asychronous clocks option in prefs. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Yeah, I think this is a known issue that happens at the end of each month. Don't know precisely why though.

Same here. I don't remember having such a problem last month. My FahMon version is 2.3.2b. I hope this will be fixed in the next version.

:shock: I guess I'll have to close Fahmon before I go to bed! 8-)
Is this a new problem? Because I don't recall this happening before. :e?:

PeterA: Why not just close FahMon [2.3.2b] most of the time, and keep it open only when you are at your computer? You can avoid the "first of the month" crash. :)

Thank you all for your answers, that's really helpful for the programmer too to fix it.
Fahmon is a great tool and must be supported and improved.

@BrownBullhead lol.... I left it running and FahMon woke up then started working normally again after 2am (as toTOW said), so it isn't a crash as such.

Or, display, if you wish, and configure FahMon to refresh when you press F6.
This won't get rid of the reported problem, though.

I have never experienced a "first of the month" crash before. :? In fact, I have never experienced any problem with keeping it running. It's nice to be able to just click on the icon in the tray and see how all my folding is doing. :D If it's not broken, why fix it?
