I'm running SBBS 3.17a on Windows, been stable for some time. Over the past few days, SBBS has been crashing with errors relating to javascript. I tried grabbing SBBS_RUN.zip, SBBS_DEV.zip, and restarting, to no avail.

The following errors were logged before SBBS crashed. No error dialog box saying that SBBS encountered an error, just no BBS.

Also, does anyone know the name of that app that checks to see if SBBS is running and if not, restarts it?

What are the JavaScript settings in your ctrl/sbbs.ini file set to?
Is it possible you're running low on memory?

My settings look pretty default -- I've got a Windows XP system with 2 GB of RAM, and 600 MB used.

; JavaScript values can be specified here *and* in server-specific sections
; JavaScript values specified in server-specific sections will over-ride the global values
; Maximum allocation of memory per JS run-time:
JavaScriptMaxBytes=
; Maximum stack size per JS context:
JavaScriptContextStack=
; Maximum stack size per JS stack:
JavaScriptThreadStack=
; Maximum number of loops (branch callbacks) before auto-termination of script:
JavaScriptBranchLimit=
; Garbage Collection interval (in branch callbacks):
JavaScriptGcInterval=
; Time-slice yield interval (in branch callbacks):
JavaScriptYieldInterval=

With no values specified? That's odd. The default sbbs.ini looks like this:

JavaScriptMaxBytes = 8M
JavaScriptContextStack = 16K

Those are the values that tweaking could cause the JS runtime to fail to init (or not). Try playing with them. Also, you have plenty of virtual memory (in the form of free disk space) available too?

I'll set those - thanks!

I've got lots of VM and lots of physical memory available. I think it might have been a combination of ecweb4 and a web spider possibly exacerbating a JS issue -- I tried disabling services, then upgrading CoA and ecwebv4 and haven't had a crash yet -- fingers crossed.

Thanks for checking back.
