I have dozens of machines that run NT 4.0 and do encoding with our own app
that uses the RealProducer SDK. They crash on fair enough occassion for it
to be a definite concern. The crash is nearly always because of a capture
card driver problem or a Real problem. I ended up writing my own
application to check the state of our other application, and cycle that app
whenever there's a failure. It works great, and whenever there's a crash in
the encoder, it turns it off and starts it over again. (and the machines
crashing isn't a problem, it's only the application crashing. That's what I
cycle)

Hey Gang,
A while I ago I asked about how people are monitoring remote encoders that
are supposed to be online 24/7, we have a horrible time trying to get this
done under any MS Operating System and have moved everything off to linux.
I have a lot of trouble under linux also with the glibc2.1 problems and I am
not downgrading all my real audio endocers. Has anyone had any luck with
running encoders for long periods of time without having to babysit them or
without libc problems?? I'm having a real problem with a encoder that
currently has a Cyrix MII processor (yah it sucks and I need to replace the
machine but right now it's all I got) Also how are you monitoring these, we
have What's Up Gold, but monitoring the encoder seems to be a real
challenge..
Thanks,
