Pascal (and others interested in the qrun problem), I was happy when I was able to repeat the hang on my windows system. And then it went away. A race condition that depends on the weather?
I have updated zmq/jcs addons with an improved qrun that logs more info. ctrl+c can be very useful in working with zmq. It is best to use jconsole in tracking down this problem. Jqt and JHS introduce unnecessary complications. Windows also complicates this as its support for ctrl+c has some problems vs zmq and sockets. In going over all the reports it seems that the problem is that one of the early tasks started never finishes its first request. The problem seems to be a race between starting the task and the first request to it. The new versions should help track this down. Please try the following and give back the results: 1. start jconsole load'~addons/net/jcs/qrun.ijs' qrun 99 99 1 Poll now has a timeout. If you see poll line repeated every 5 seconds, you are likely hung waiting for something that isn't going to happen. The good news is that your session should respond to ctrl+c within 5 seconds. qrun now writes a logfile that might have some hints as to the problem. After qrun has hung, and you have done ctrl+c, take a look at: fread logfile_jcs_ Please pass the contents of that file to me as it might hlep track this down. *** if it is a race between starting a task and sending it the 1st request, the problem might 'go away' if we add a sleep between starting all the tasks and starting any jobs. This is not a fix, but provides more info. If you can get the hang repeatedly, please see if you the following avoids the hang. 2 qrun 99 99 2 NB. sleep 2 seconds before starting requests *** Has anyone seen this problem on Linux? Can we say it is possibly a window only problem? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
