We have seen this issue two times when an existing installation of
one of our apps was copied to a new server. I didn't understand how
it could happen, but probably Peter is right and using the on-off
switch instead of properly shutting down the application is the cause.
Maybe we could check for the existence of a .rev~ file, and if one
exists, remove the corresponding .rev file and change the extension
from rev~ to rev.
Kind regards,
Henk

Yes, this could be it. They do every so often close it down using
the on-off
switch, which invokes the shutdown procedure, but too fast for rev
to close
and save properly. Could be. Thanks - at least it frees one from
worrying
that someone is trying to use a text editor on it.
Now what to do about it! At least it is fairly easy to recover from.

Peter,
I believe the .rev~ file is made by the revolution engine
automatically
when you do a stack save. It is a backup of the exisiting stack file
prior to the save command. If the save is successful it is
deleted, so
you only see it if something went wrong.
Assuming this is correct, this would suggest that the stack save
operation is failing part way through, for some reason.
