Direwolf crashes and exits


Phil Shields
 

Hi all, my direwolf is on Windoze 7 and works fine for weeks. It then crashes and exits at random. I have looked for logs but can't find any. There is plenty of information about Linux but not much for Windoze.?
I looked at the config file but couldn't see anything about log directories I may be able to make.
Thanks,
Phil VK2CPR

Hello Phil,

Hi all, my direwolf is on Windoze 7 and works fine for weeks. It then crashes and exits at random. I have looked for logs but can't find any. There is plenty of information about Linux but not much for Windoze.?
I looked at the config file but couldn't see anything about log directories I may be able to make.

You didn't provide any details about your setup but if I was to guess, I would say it could be RFI getting into the USB sound system and removing the USB-connected sound card.? As for logging, that can happen two ways.? When you start direwolf from a cmd window, it will start sending log text into that window.? Maybe you're starting Direwolf from batch file and once Direwolf exits, it closes the window box?? IF that's what you're doing, consider some of these ideas:?


The other approach is starting Direwolf with logging to file enabled:
--
?????? -l logdir
????????????? Generate daily log files in specified directory.? Use "." for current directory.

?????? -L logfile
????????????? Generate single log file with fixed name.

My guess would be the high reliability operating system being the problem.

Thanks David, i'll try putting ferrite rings on the audio leads into the USB sound dongle. I'll explore starting direwolf from the command line also.?
Thankks for your help.
