"Error writing to ICS The pipe is being closed."
Quite possibly me, but worth a mention.

Re: pawn hash
I have been trying to get set up, and as soon as I load Winboard, I get a pop-up "Connection closed by ICS". No chance to login or anything.

Re: pawn hash
It looks like a mystery, I assume the ICS code didn't change, maybe there is something bad happening when it wants to write data to the hard-drive, a corrupted file or something like that.hgm wrote:Well, there is no real log, but the output on the terminal doesn't reveal anything. It is just suddenly gone:

Re: pawn hash
If I look at the commands log there is not much suspect:
It seems to die in the 'flag' command. This could indeed trigger a whole lot of events, by terminating a game, and consequently causing it to be saved on file.
I can try rebooting the VPS, to see if the problem persists.

Re: pawn hash
Probably worth a go - still getting "Connection closed by ICS " in Wales.

Re: pawn hash
OK, I rebooted the VPS, and started the ICS again. If this does not work, I have no idea what to do. My experience with Linux is limited, and I have no idea how to check the file system for consistency, or do a hardware memory test.
From the command log we can exclude an external attack by someone that figured out how he can crash an ICS.
