It seems like Synchronet Control Panel, at least on my sysstem is hoggint resources. It consistently hots CPU at over 70%.

Is that normal or is there something else I need to look at.

No, that's not normal. What version of sbbsctrl are you running? Have you tried stopping servers or services to find which is at fault?

I am running v3.19

This morning it was hogging the CPU. I shut it down and restarted it and watched it for a while and it was behaving ok.

I sent some mail and just a little bump in CPU use. Not sure what it is doing when it does jump up. Untll I restart it, it does not goe dow in usage

Next time this happens, try stopping one server at a time (don't shut down sbbsctrl) and see which one fixes the "hogging".

Another thing to look at would be the logs of the servers (and the event thread) to see what was happening last.

Not normal... though I've seen that from the web service(s) when they're being actively scanned such as via bot, or indexing from google, etc. It should settle down when they're done, generally... you can try adding a robots.txt in the web root to deny scanning (if you don't mind not getting indexed directly).

The IRCd has seemed to leak as well in the past, not that I've seen it do that in several years though.

I'm running via docker, with most of the separate services running separately, so I can identify when one goes kind of rogue... I have irc and nntp separate, but the rest of "services" running together. Telnet/SSH, Web (3), FTP and Mail/SMTP are all running separately as well for my config.

My Synchronet Control Panel not loading automatically. It was loading on startup fine yesterday until I modified sbbs.ini to get DoorParty working.

I changed the IP for RLOGIN from 0.0.0.0 to the IP of my "server" as the DoorParty docs said and Door Party still did not work.

I reverted the settings back and it still will not load. Rebooted and everything. If I manually start it, it comes u, but without the service control underneith Terminal Server and Events.

If I close the Control Panel and re-open it, the service controls come back.

I have since used echicken's documents and files to get DoorParty working, but the Control Panel is still acting strange.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Jason

This is unnecessary and their docs should not be telling you to do this.

Re: your other problem, if you can start Synchronet manually and you reverted *all* changes to sbbs.ini, then these are two separate issues being conflated as one.

This page:

https://wiki.synchro.net/install:win

says:

"When the installation process is completed you may find a new Icon on your Desktop and/or your Startup Folder in your Start Menu. If you do not want Synchronet to start automatically during boot, you may safely delete the Synchronet shortcut from your Windows Startup Folder."

I don't know if this applies to your version of Windows, but I guess I'd start by checking that a shortcut to Synchronet Control Panel exists at that location.

Thank you for the response.

It is set to start automatically in the startup folder. That is why it is strange. I will dig a little deeper in the logs.

Also, earlier, your DoorParty page made much more sense than the on from DoorParty. ;)
