Cumulus MX Service Keeps Stopping

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Cumulus MX Service Keeps Stopping

Post by kd7eir »

I'm running the Pi image of Cumulus MX 3.9.1 b3096 on a Pi3 B+ Several times a day MX will shut down. The only error in the log is this: 2020-11-02 01:36:49.677 Shutting down due to SERVICE STOP

It runs anywhere from 3 minutes to 18 minutes before it shuts down.

Any idea what might cause that?

I've split this into a new topic.

Short answer, no idea I'm afraid. :( I have MX running on three different pi's for testing purposes and do not see any service stops, one has been running for months.

Oddly, it's been running fine since shortly after I made this post.

Hmm, any clue in any of the system logs around the time it stopped?

It would've got that SERVICE STOP signal from something external (such as a shutdown/reboot or a systemctl command).
