working for a while here then getting this error

"Error writing to ICS The pipe is being closed."

Quite possibly me, but worth a mention.

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.

Ditto.

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.

Same here now

If I look at the commands log there is not much suspect:

Code: Select all

p2&#58; 'f3g3'
p8&#58; '$flag'
p8&#58; '$flag'
p8&#58; 'flag'

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.

Probably worth a go - still getting "Connection closed by ICS " in Wales.

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.

Seems OK now.

I'm in now - looks like the reboot helped.
