General Discussion / SL-6000L freezing

« on: November 15, 2004, 01:33:36 pm »

Hi,

This is a re-posting, I posted in a different section, but didn't get a reply.  Hopefully I'll get some feedback here.

I'm having a problem with an SL-6000L. It freezes periodically, and the only way to revive it is to push the reset button. It usually freezes after running for 3-5 days (hard to pinpoint the exact time).

Here's my situation, I have an SL-6000L running in an enclosed (not heated) building. Temperatures drop to just below 0 degrees C. The Zaurus is powered using the AC adapter, and is connected to the internet (AudioVox RTM8000D). I've added a script that reboots the device, auto-connects and sends an email every ~2 days.  The reboot, connection and email worked fine, but on the 3rd day the Zaurus is not responding.

When the SL-6000L freezes, it doesn't respond to key presses, and I can't remotely connect to it (ssh, http). I have 'suspend after' disabled (light settings), and the note-worthy installed packages are: ssl, ssh(running), apache & php(running), terminal, filemanager.

Has anyone ran into a similar issue? Does anyone have any solutions or ideas of what is happening (or things to look into)?

Any info is greatly appreciated,

Eric Smith

Software / php problem executing command in background

Solved the problem, it was a php thing.  I had to execute session_write_close() before starting the background application

Software / php problem executing command in background

« on: September 24, 2004, 11:40:48 am »

I have a webserver (apache 1.3.27, php 4.2.3) running on my SL6000L, and I'm having trouble executing commands in the background.  When I execute a command in the background using any of the techniques from php.net, the current page loads, but the next page won't load (session_start() blocks until the background command is complete).

Any suggestions?

I've tried forking, calling scripts, session_write_close(), but nothing seems to work.

Thanks in advance, esmith
