minimserver stops running

[zorgu]

Hi Simon,

Since a few weeks (sorry I don't remember exactly since when), I also experience the same issue: on my Synology DS213 minimserver is crashing on a regular basis (once a day, in general over night).
I have applied the set up you have recommended for the loging level and now, as a crash occured last night, I have a 70mb log file I can share with you.

I will try to sent it to you via MP.

Synology have now responded to my emails. They say this problem will be fixed in a future version of DSM.

Edit: To clarify, the problem that Synology are fixing is the problem with a DSM update stopping MinimServer. If MinimServer stops when there wasn't a DSM update, I would like to know about this.

Ok, fine, I keep my big log file then
Thanks Simon.

It sounds like your crash has a different cause, so I would like to see the log file. Can you upload it to my FTP server? I will PM you the server details.

I have just uploaded two log files, one from last night, one from the previous night.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for doing this. I have looked at both these logs.

MinimServer is stopping (not crashing) because you have set something in your DSM configuration that is causing DSM to stop the MinimServer process at 6.00 am every day.

Thanks Simon,

You are right, there was a task scheduled at 6:00am to restart minimServer. The idea was to trigger at least every day a rescan of the library. Sounds like a bad idea then.

How exactly did you set up this task? It looks like it's stopping MinimServer but not (I presume) restarting it.

Well, I have created a task in the task scheduler to launch the minimServer service at 6:00am. Maybe should I create one before to shutdown the service first?...

How exactly did you set up this task? What did you specify in the Task Scheduler?
