[sniffer] Re: problems!!!!

[Steve Guluk]

Thanks for the reply. The Persistent state would not stay alive. I started it from the command line and it would last until the DOS window was closed. I use Run Exe Svc 2000 to keep a service running so that the persistent state is invoked on restarts. I recreated the files and now it seems to be holding. I'll check back later this eve, but it makes little sense but hopefully can help someone else in case they have a similar condition.

Stop processing messages. Clean out any .QUE, .WRK, .XXX, .FIN, .ABT, and .LOCK files in the SNF directory. Make sure your persistent instance is running correctly. One good way to do this is to type the .stat file created by the persistent instance every few seconds. The tictock value should change indicating that the file is being updated by your persistent instance. Start processing messages again. If SNF and the persistent instance are not stopped cleanly then leftover job files can cause some confusion that results in poor performance and/or large numbers of .QUE and other job files to build up. Clearing them out and restarting often solves this problem if nothing else has been changed/broken. Hope this helps, Thanks, _M Friday, July 14, 2006, 4:39:09 PM, you wrote: I just started getting a bunch of que files in my sniffer dir today after a reinstall of MXGuard Ref: agseap2t-20060714203613x5756511A-5032.QUE Any idea how to stop these or why they are popping up? I use sniffer as a persistent instance but maybe it's not working so these are the hooks that should be firing off the linked files for sniffer review??
