Intermittent realtime.txt failure.

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).

Intermittent realtime.txt failure.

Post by The Dalek Hunter »

This happens intermittently to all my three CMX installations and at the same time. Normal uploading takes place but realtime.txt uploading does not happen. Here is an extract from the log.

Simply restarting CMX fixes the error.
