Skynet New Skynet 7.6.3 Release

[vibroverbus]

Anything unusual in the syslog?

This was weird. I didn't see anything but to be honest I was caught in a jam running out the door and didn't really have comprehensive look.
Something odd happened. Because I was in a rush I did what probably wasn't the smartest thing and quickly tried 2 or 3 things.

Now today all seems Ok after a reinstall. To summarize timeline:

1. System running super high CPU, intermittent internet dropouts. No unusual log messages at quick look but definitely could have missed them. High CPU processes looked like maybe Skynet related sed / awk spawns..? Or were the compromised processes?
2. Reboot - no change same issues. Discovered Skynet interactive menu hangs after 'file lock found' message whether started at shell prompt or via amtm
3. Restored 4 day old backup & reboot (restore worked GREAT ) - but same issues came right back
4. Uninstalled Skynet, reboot - system running fast/clean no suspicious processes seen
5. Reinstalled Skynet default settings - oops same issues 100% CPU again
6. Uninstalled Skynet - back to OK - just had to leave for 24hrs so left it - then it had a scheduled nightly reboot
7. Reinstalled Skynet via amtm menus. All PERFECTLY fine.

I'm not asking for any help here - just recapping the outcome... if it happens again I'll make my own thread as it seems clearly like a 'local system' problem.

I've seen that after upgrades or during upgrades, sometimes the CPU goes crazy while it reconstructs or reindexes databases... this could go on for many hours, and could definitely be a cause of concern for many. If you have any other scripts on there that might use a database, that could have been the reason. Some changes within Skynet may have also promped a recompile of the blocklists, and depending on the age of your equipment, could also cause some long-running CPU spikes. Glad you're back in business!

Thanks Viktor - yeah that seems likely. Maybe yesterday I should have 'ridden it out' and would have finished? Being in a rush AND having been compromised in past (AND having household complaints ) made me twitchy with the trigger finger

I am new to Skynet and while upgrading to 7.6.2 I noticed that block lists and the program should auto update? Can I expect Skynet to go to 7.6.3 by itself?

If you have auto update enabled? Yes Skynet will handle the update by itself within a week of release.

I’m getting a 404 error in the Merlin gui tab for Skynet. Not sure what I’ve done wrong. Seems to be running when I check through amtm (ranges blocked, auto updating lists)…
Help?
