Im not at home at the moment to check on this issue, but my status pages keeps coming up with this error
Error writing alltime.ini: Cannot create file "C:\Cumulus\data\alltime.ini". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
Its happened a few time over the last hour or more....

Maybe a restart of cumulus would fix this???

Will be some hours before I'm home to look into this...

It's possible - perhaps there was a problem closing the file when Cumulus wrote to it previously, so the system still thinks Cumulus has it open. This problem is more usually something else, e.g. anti-virus software, which is preventing Cumulus from writing to the file.

Thanks Steve.
I was kind of looking into that. Just want to arm myself with possible fixed from when I get home. Don't want to be awake till the crack of dawn research once I get home...
How often does that file get written anyway?

Just looking at my today page and there are a lot temp and wind spikes, so somthing is not right!!!

Whenever an all-time record is broken.

Looks like you have two instances of Cumulus running, since about 1630.

How the hell did that happen???
Its on a unused machine behind the bar, only access via RDP.

Looks like I might be seeing the sun coming up with editing out these spikes!!!
