Re: [GNC] GnuCash 5.4 background process left running in Windows
.LCK file disappears normally when I "X" out of Gnucash so I'm assuming it's all good and then kill the background process via Task Manager. When I shut down the process is going to disappear anyway :-) Cheers David H. On Sat, 30 Sept 2023 at 07:06, Fross, Michael wrote: > In addition to Bill's question, is there any risk?

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 5.4 background process left running in Windows
In addition to Bill's question, is there any risk? Do those "zombie" processes have the data file open? I just looked and GNUCash is not running but I had two processes running in the background. I killed them, but then wondered if that is something I should have done Michael On Fri, Sep 29, 2023 at 3:45 PM WR D wrote: > I am not sure if this is something new with 5.4, but I notice when I exit > from GnuCash (windows 11), there is a background process left running. > > In task manager the process is called "GnuCash Program File (32 bit)" ... > it uses 0% CPU, takes 76.9MB memory, and 0% disk.

[GNC] GnuCash 5.4 background process left running in Windows
I am not sure if this is something new with 5.4, but I notice when I exit from GnuCash (windows 11), there is a background process left running. In task manager the process is called "GnuCash Program File (32 bit)" ... it uses 0% CPU, takes 76.9MB memory, and 0% disk. But it is always running. The reason I found this is that I observed something was locking up one of the Gnucash log files - I know this because I keep by Gnucash files on OneDrive and I now sometimes get sync errors due to log file being "in use" even after I shut down Gnucash. I assume it is the background process that is using a log file preventing it from being synced properly even after GnuCash shuts down. I also observe the online finance quote retrieval has changed with 5.4. Specifically, previously there was always a window frame pop-up while quote retrieval was happening. Since 5.4, this no longer happens. The retrieval happens but there is no window showing anywhere ... did online quote retrieval move to a background process perhaps. I wonder if the background process issue is related to some change in how GnuCash triggers online quote retrievals? I am considering to revert back to previous GnuCash version to confirm the background process locking issue goes away.
