RTS troubles

[prpr]

Is anyone else having trouble with Real-Time-Scheduling either stopping working after a while or not working at all?
Two of my HDRs here (but not the third) and the HD are afflicted.
Running nugget ping from the command line results in an error message, which means no RTS functionality.
I've tried reinstalling nugget (although it all looked intact), and rebooting, with no change on any of the three.
I've tried fix-flash-packages on the HD, and rebooted, with no change.

Two remote boxes are not currently afflicted, although I had the problem with one of them a couple of weeks ago, which a reboot fixed.

It's all very mysterious and quite annoying as I can't think what might be causing it.
Anyone else got anything to report? Could do with some more data points, good or bad.

HDR1, HDR2 and HD are currently faulty. HDR3 and RemoteHDR2 are not, but have been in the past.

I haven't noticed any problems, I rarely see the "background thread exiting." msg

Found it... it's auto-schedule-restore trying to restore an empty backup to an empty schedule, but the annoying code is in the WebIf libraries ("rsv restore" sends a "nugget quit" command regardless).

 

[Black Hole]

Several times I've had my HDRs apparently losing their schedules at random. Could this be related?

I don't see how.

Yes my two occurences of the RTS background thread exiting correspond to the two recent occurences of the Setup wizzard running

The setup wizzard is indirectly causing RTS to terminate by necessitating the auto schedule restore, this only causes a problem when there is no schedule to restore.
It doesn't explain why the schedule dissapears or the set up wizzard is triggered.
