Another runaway recording

The BBC local news South Today suffered a runaway recording last night - I was able to stop it using IR remote package this afternoon when I noticed it still going!

There was definitely a burst of RTS action scheduling new recordings during the period immediately following the end of the BBC national news whilst South Today was correctly recording so something managed to destroy the normal end recording processing by the humax!

Any other information that would be useful for debugging?
 
At last a hypothesis to test: runaway recordings are the result of the schedule database being updated by CF while a recording is in progress (which would not be possible without RTS).

I'll see if I can make it happen.

I have also scheduled many recording whilst recording without causing a runaway so there is some obscure timing window in place.
The South Today is a long standing series recording and not a product of RTS.
 
I'll have a look through those logs when I get a few hours in the week, thanks for posting them.
The problem I have is that although I understood the assembly language involved for RTS when I implemented it, and I do have a commented version of the code again, I'll need time to get back into it as I've most definitely swapped it out of my head in the intervening time.

Ah Ha. The good old mental swap file. I have to use it all the time now.:frantic:

Unlike a real swap file on a microVAX I used years ago (with simulated version run today)
Code: 
OpenVMS V7.3  on node $£&*^  18-MAR-2018 13:27:23.98  Uptime  0 00:09:38
  Pid    Process Name    State  Pri      I/O       CPU       Page flts  Pages
00000056 BATCH_2         HIBO     3       --  swapped  out  --          11986  B
00000057 BATCH_3         HIBO     4       --  swapped  out  --           6980  B
That's what happened when you tried to get a quart into a pint pot (big simulations, not much memory). Things swapped out, became difficult to "take back control" :rolleyes:, often happened when the an important visitor arrived. Usually required a quick kick up the reboot button - or the damn thing crashed and rebooted itself. I wouldn't like to translate that into an analogy with anything human!

And not just the code for the simulations (c 1983-91). I have trouble understanding the code I wrote last year to interface with the 2000T. Or the code I was trying to develop to examine the .ts files.:confused:
