yea.... user laziness...I guess you could call that an error > > After looking at the detailed reports, here is what looks like is happening: > > Sat night there is a 3 hour long form show that is broken up into close > to 27 minute chunks with 6 minutes of local avails. > > Do to them not filling these traffic breaks, Sat's log has been ending > early (around 11:45p).

Why would the system need to reload anything. Or, is it not running, because Sundays log was short, and the system stopped for some reason? > > Aside from the traffic issue, any thing I might be doing wrong, and how > "short" is acceptible for a log?

If your logs are short, and you don't have any timed events, like a log re sync at the top of the hour for example, the machine could potentially stop when you are going to a new log? Are you using the chain to's....(seems strange that a music log would stop using those). you big issue is traffic...and a carry over to the next day or two... worse case, schedule a fixed event at 11:59:55, like an id, and put the chain to after that..assuming your id or liner crosses the top of the hour, it should automatically restart, and roll to whatever log the chain to indicates... It's a dumb fix that should be totally unnecessary, btw... you problem seems to be based on someones laziness or unwillingness to take the time to do things right... john
