Hi Abdalla, > The first 2 lines are the IOC shell output before the segmentation > fault happened. Seems like it's happening in this line: https://github.com/epics-modules/autosave/blob/synApps_5_6/asApp/src/save_restore.c#L1371 I can think of 3 reasons why it might crash: 1. Invalid file descriptor out_fd 2. Invalid C string SRversion - which BTW seems to contain a wrong version number ;-) 3. Invalid C string datetime (2) Seems unlikely as SRversion is a pointer to a constant string. Regarding (3): This gets populated in [1]. Note that the whole function has been rewritten recently [2]. I'm wondering if this is because someone else ran into problems... Missing 0-termination for example might cause a segfault. You might want to try the latest version of fGetDateStr.c. I would also recommend to run your IOC in the debugger so you can inspect these variables after the IOC crashed (or turn on core files). -Martin [1] https://github.com/epics-modules/autosave/blob/synApps_5_6/asApp/src/fGetDateStr.c [2] https://github.com/epics-modules/autosave/commit/39d1dcbfbbf0971dc6fd6f13b0e77d65e21b577c#diff-101e75ddd0243986d9009539b0f7ece1 -- Martin Konrad High Performance Controls Team Leader Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Michigan State University 640 South Shaw Lane East Lansing, MI 48824-1321, USA Tel. 517-908-7253 Email: [email protected]
