Brian:
Sometime ago, I asked for your help in this space, because my WD ftp crashed everyhour…
Well, it seems you didn’t find any reason for that, but now I can say I just discovered the “guilty” reason: Weather Report Email. Yeah, if the weather report is scheduled for everyhour, it happends. I just scheduled it for everyhour plus 2 minutes, and ftp didn’t crash again.
Cheers

Where wd does so many things, I have personally found it works best staggering all the diferent uploads, downloads and file creations throughout the hour at odd minutes, rather than at the usual hour / quarter / half and three quarter times. I have run wd since September 2003, and (touching wood) have found no problems with it crashing.
You’re absolutely right, Shaun. It’s exactly what I did, all schedules are spreaded over time and since I did it, problems have gone away…
Thanks, Shaun
