[Skimmertalk] FT8StartUp Beta Version 2.2b1

[Ted Gisske]

Andy,

I've noticed the same thing. Some instances of WSJT-X  and CWSL_SSBWave.exe
seemed slow to close on a kill rigs command. The, if I hit the start-all
button before all instanced died, there were a lot of warnings about
duplicate instances already running.

 

As a suggestion.Perhaps 15-20 seconds of dawdle time before auto-starting
the rigs after an auto-kill would improve the issue.

 

73,

After running with the kill switch for a week, I noticed that my spot count
went way down (1100 for the last 24 hours). I hit the kill all switch and
found this:

*	all UI instances of WSJT-X were gone - good
*	24 CWSL_SSBWave.exe instances were still running - not good
*	2 wsjt-x.exe instance were running - not good

I killed the 26 orphan processes and hit the start all switch. Things are
now moving again. 

 

2 Questions:

*	Can the kill all switch be a little more aggressive and do full kill
of these processes?
*	Do you think that a high CPU situation can cause fewer spots?  I am
wondering whether 80 -90 CPU utilization may throttle already the spot
count. I wonder if running on fewer bands would be better. Anyone know or
have tried this?

Thanks

Dick,

 

I ran for a few days with the "automatic kill switch". I am running the new
RP on 8 FT8 bands. It seems to work for the WSJT-X and jt9 processes.
However, I can see currently 16 processes with names CWSL_SSBWave.exe.
Anything you can do here? I know I could use a script also to do that
easily, but it would interfere with the FT8Startup functionality, so it
would be better if it would do it..

 

Thanks

Andy

FT8StartUp Beta Version 2.2b1 is available for testing at 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/f3rjjuzra51364v/FT8StartUp.exe?dl=0

This adds the option to "Kill All Rigs" and then "Start All Rigs in Use" 
at 2:00 am every day,   This is a work around for the problem that 
causes over driving the audio input to WSJT-X after long periods of 
operation with CWSL_SSBWave.exe.
