Hi Bruce,

that's a good one!
Non-intentional behavior, of course. Seems I have to be more patient when testing.


I created a new bug report [1], and will take care of this issue as soon as I find the time.
Thanks for finding and reporting it!


Cheers,
Ralph

Hi Ralph,
I just discovered that a couple of our soft IOC's, running via procServ,
had stopped running. When I tried launching the procServ daemon again,
I would get the message about spawning a daemon process, but ps would
fail to find it. On investigation, it turned out that both these IOC's had
2GB log files. When I removed the log files, procServ was able to
launch successfully.


I don't know if this was intended, but it would seem more prudent to keep
the process running without logging if the log file is full, and just print to
stderr that the log is full.


Best regards,
