Of late I have been having an issue with "All nodes Busy" or busy
files that keep Fidopoll or Mutil from running. Last weekend I
was away and when I got home I found that Mystic hadn't polled
out in a couple days. I had assumed that Mutil and/or Fidopoll
would normally remove the busy file upon program termination.
I'm curious, what version of Mystic?
Mystic v1.12 A43 2019/03/02
I know there were versions a
while ago that had semaphore issues, but the latest (latest is 1.12
A43) few versions have no issues in this regard. Also, this assumes a clean shutdown of Mystic and its utilities at all times. My Mystic
FTN hub runs pretty much hands off these days, and no file locking
issues.
It's also possible, though I haven't seen it, that Fidopoll is
crashing in the middle of doing something. What do your logs say - is there any sign of an incomplete session, just before things go pear shaped? As I said, I haven't seen any stability issues with Mystic or
its utilities, but just covering all bases.
The error log shows:
2019.16.07 14:04:48 MUTIL 000 Runtime error 1
The Fidopoll log shows:

The above execution looks to have failed to complete. And there are
no log entries after the above 7/12 entry until the 7/16 entry when
I manually cleared the existing busy files.

In the Mutil log I get the following log entry times 100 during the
same 7/12-7/16 time period:
----------------- MUTIL v1.12 A43 2019/03/02 Fri, Jul 12 2019 (loglevel 2)

! Jul 12 05:09:43 Status: FATAL
+ Jul 12 05:09:43 Shutdown Normal (0)
Once I made sure no Mystic executables were loaded (Except for MIS) I cleared the busy files and Fidopoll loaded and polled out fine and then called Mutil fine.
I checked to make sure I didn't have any events or tasks that might have
caused an overlapping issue.
