[JDEV] RE: My first jabber1.4 Crashed

[Frank Wang]

I am running the jabberd in a init.d script with all std-out and std-error
redirect to
a file called debug.log.

Where is the "xterm" coming from in my debug.log? Is what crashing the
server? It definitely
printed out page of xterm before crashing I noticed. A section from my
debug.log:

  Subject: My first jabber1.4 Crashed


  I have started jabber1.4 with ICQ, MSN, AIM and Yahoo transports as user
jabber apart of daemon group
  ./jabberd/jabberd -h mydomain.com -D &

  I can't close the xterm window since that will cause jabber crash with
error "PID change server exiting"
  so I left it running in xterm window

  ....

  It has crashed after 24 hour with following error just before the
crashing. I have rename the mydomain name.

  I restarted the server now and running as user jabber without putting it
into a backgroup process:
  ./jabberd/jabberd -h mydomain.com -D

  I will see how long it will take before it crashes again.
  Anyone has the same problem or know the result for a fix?  Please let me
know.
  I'm running
  Red Hat Linux release 6.0 (Hedwig)
  Kernel 2.2.5-15 on an i686

  and all jabber src are from jabber1.4/final/

  Hmm.. I start to have doubt on the stability of the current src.  It's
very much like any servers during first few months of its release.
