HouseBot server crash

[dlmorgan999]

I've had my HouseBot server process crash a couple of times recently. Both times seem to be for the same reason and caused by the same device. I've also had problems with the device that caused the crash. It *was* working fine and I can't remember changing anything.



This device is something that really only needs to run once a day but since the time it runs needs to be dynamic I've created properties with the hour and minute values. I have a task that runs once a minute which executes the script. The script runs every minute and aborts if the time is not right. I can email the script if you like.



I've also found twice (probably related to the crash) where the script device state was running and it had been like that for hours. When I tried to change the state to stopped I got an error like this (I was going to give the exact text but the HouseBot server crashed while I was at work so I lost the error log from the last session): "Script device is not running running. Unable to change State property". Note: the fact that running is listed twice above is *not* a typo on my part - this is what the error message said.



Is there any kind of tracing I can turn on to help debug this?



Here is the dump file. Any clues?

Unfortunately, I can't tell much from the dump and there's not really much that tracing will help in this case. Please send the script to me ([email protected]) and I'll see if I can duplicate it.
