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. :-)                                   ...
