    Ga> Strange.  My SBBS has *never* crashed, in over 7 years.  Granted, it runs   
    Ga> on Linux, but there are plenty of folks running on Windows that don't see   
    Ga> crashes, either.   
      
    Ni> I ran my Synchronet BBS in Windows for many years, and I saw random   
    Ni> crashes occasionally.  It was often enough that I found a utility that   
    Ni> would check whether the SBBS control panel was running, and if not, run   
    Ni> it; I set that up to run periodically via the Windows Task Scheduler.   
    Ni> I did some debugging, and as far as I could tell, the crashes looked   
    Ni> like they were related to the Mozilla JavaScript library that   
    Ni> Synchronet was using, but I didn't go further to get more information   
    Ni> to see what exactly in the JS library was causing the crashes.   
      
    Ni> It's interesting of other Synchronet sysops in Windows hadn't been   
    Ni> seeing periodic crashes, but the fact that a SBBS check utility exists   
    Ni> for Windows seems to suggest for me that other Synchronet sysops saw   
    Ni> the same issue and someone decided to make a utility to re-run it if   
    Ni> it's not running.   
      
    Ni> I wondered if the crashes were due to something I was doing in some of   
    Ni> my JS mods for Synchronet, but it seemed to random to easily track   
    Ni> down.  And now that I'm running my BBS in Linux, I feel like it hasn't   
    Ni> been a noticeable issue anymore for me.   
      
   Interesting.   
      
   I guess it's just a built-in Windows issue.  :-)
