this is what I get when I check the LAST RUN in the Files section.  SSH in and reboot and it works for about a few hours then does it again.

How do I fix this?  It no longer shows NODES and no longer shows Population. So far it's getting worse and non functional.  It worked great at first.

No this is a NEDIO45 iso.  It is installed on a dedicated box.  It worked awesome for about a week then started doing the error above.

Can you provide more information? Anything else written in the lastrun? How much diskspace is left? (df -k)

Last run only shows that line.  Over 150Gb of free space.

How do I display the amount of free space in a SSH session to the box?

Lannie

PS are you thinking way too much RDD data and the drive filled?

I thought it was working but only when I manually do a discovery via the gui.  I have uncommented the sections in the cron and it never runs.

I found a post that mentioned hitting the Red X in Services to reset the discovery,

I did that and also discovered that by removing the # in the crontab it does not work. If I copy the line without the # at the beginning and paste it at the end of the samples it works. 

I noticed it has not been finding nodes (population).  Will that show up eventually?

Here is my cron:
*/5 * * * *   /var/nedi/nedi.pl -p > /tmp/nedi.lastrun 2>&1

/bin/sh: cannot fork - try again

I did the red X reset and its running again.  Darn, maybe I should have done that the first time instead of reinstalling! Smiley
