Scheduled backups causing Frontview to fail

Hi,

Reply to my own post... ho hum, anyway.

I did a lot more research ony my Frontview fail problem. Nothing definitive came up, but there were several suggestions of a BITTORRENT addon issue, so I pursued that.

I do not currently have a BITTORRENT addon installed, but over a year ago I did. I seem to recall that my ReadyNAS had the Netgear addon installed, that I removed it and tried Transmission for a while. Either way, tried it for a bit and then removed it too. However, I found a BITTORRENT directory in the addons folder, and it contained some scripts referencing files long since deleted:

ReadyNAS1:/etc/frontview/addons/bin/BITTORRENT# ls -l
total 48
-rwxr-xr-x 1 admin admin 45 May 29 2008 running.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 admin admin 46 Jun 18 2008 start.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 admin admin 77 Jun 18 2008 stop.sh

So I deleted the entire directory with:

ReadyNAS1:/etc/frontview/addons/bin# rm -rf BITTORRENT

Additionally I increased the Frontview logging level:

/etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -> backup copied to /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf.old

Using vi I changed LogLevel warn to LogLevel info and then restarted FrontView again (/etc/init.d/frontview restart).

Well that was 3 weeks ago, ande since then I have not had a single problem with Frontview failing and it is doing daily scheduled backup jobs to a USB hdd. It is working like a champion.

Hope this helps someone else.
