Linux SMP issues (part 2)

I've been seeing new issues surface in my Linux SMP installations that's increasingly affecting my clients over the past few days. If I stop and attempt to restart the client, it remains at the command prompt. In other words, it's as if I didn't do anything. Restarting the OS doesn't help; the executable doesn't seem to work. Anyone else see this?

The only thing that has seemingly fixed the problem was downloading a new executable and replacing the old one with it. But before I start doing this across all my systems, I'm not sure if this is a permanent fix. It has been only a few hours since replacing the exe., and would like to know if someone has heard of this issue or know what is going on.

Another problem I have is a failure to upload results. Not the usual server problems, but a hang at the attempt to send results. There's no activity whatsoever. This may be related to the server issues affecting Stanford, so I'm not 100% certain it's a separate problem, but I don't receive any message about failing to connect when the hangs occur.
 
You might have a beta client with a expiration date. This happen to be yesterday and this happened on one of my boxens this morning after a restart.

This is normal behavior. There's always been a 3 to 4 minute pause when a WU has finished. Are you allowing it this long before aborting?

Your other problem is likely the beta expiration problem others have been reporting.

It was hanging much longer than that, nearly half an hour. Anyway, for whatever reasons may have caused these hangs appears that it's working now. It could have been the server problems at Stanford even though I didn't receive any server connection messages.

As for my other issue, I guess it must have been an expired beta. I tested my other SMP clients by stopping them and they wouldn't restart either. I then proceeded to DL the new beta and all the clients resumed their work. I'm still new to Linux and the client behaves somewhat differently than it does when Windows clients expire. It's the first client expiration I've seen on a Linux install.

Thanks for the help. :)
 
The servers had some issues today for sure...
