    It's happened two times now, that my binkd suddenly "died".

    I don't think it "dies". I see the same happening also, it just exits. I don't now why but it is related to the config change. Here only in Windows, not in OS/2 or Linux.

    The first time it happened a year ago or so, I discovered it after just a few hours and could restart it,

    And still you don't restart it automagically?

    but today Real Life caused me not to notice it for more than 12 hours.

    Bad excuse. :)

    This is what happened:

    + 29 Mar 00:19:31 [14804] addr: 2:423/81@fidonet
    - 29 Mar 00:19:31 [14804] OPT ND
    + 29 Mar 00:19:31 [14804] Remote requests ND mode

    + 29 Mar 00:19:42 [2212] binkd.inc changed!
    + 29 Mar 00:19:42 [2212] Reloading configuration...

    This is where I compiled the new nodelist for binkd.

    - 29 Mar 00:19:43 [2212] servmgr listen on *:24555
    + 29 Mar 00:19:49 [14804] sending r:\binkd\outbound\01A70051.CUT as 5c9d56be.pkt (1865)

    29 Mar 00:19:56 [9140] previous config is no longer in use, unloading

    And this is where binkd should change?

    + 29 Mar 00:19:57 [14804] sent: r:\binkd\outbound\01A70051.CUT (1865, 233.12 CPS, 2:423/81@fidonet) + 29 Mar 00:19:57 [14804] done (to 2:423/81@fidonet, failed, S/R: 1/0 (1865/0 bytes))

    ? 29 Mar 00:19:57 [14804] fidonet: unknown domain
    29 Mar 00:19:57 [14804] session closed, quitting...

    Uh huh?

    And here's where binkd exited without prior notice. In the middle of sessions? Wazzup?

    I have always had the same problem, never was able to solve it. I just disabled
    binkd reloading on a change of config.


    Cheers, Michiel

    Hi Björn,

    On 2019-03-29 17:09:12, you wrote to me:

    I know Michiel had comparable unexpected exits of the windows binkd
    he was using. I don't know if that's still happening or if it's
    fixed. Are you using a linux or windows version, and what version
    number?

    R:\binkd>> binkd -vv
    Binkd 1.1a-65 (Sep 21 2014 18:59:33/Win32)
    Compilation flags: mingw32, perldl, https, ntlm, amiga_4d_outbound, bwlim, ipv6, fsp1035.
    Facilities: fsp1035 ipv6

    That's a bit old, although nothing substantial has changed in later versions afair.

    Do you run it as a windows service? Under what windows version? There probably is an option you can set, what to do when the service exits. Look in your windows settings regarding this service...

    Bye, Wilfred.
