Re: [Summary-Talk] Incremental every hour / sftp download

[Jason Linhart <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is very difficult to imagine how 'Incremental every hour' could make 
any difference to SFTP downloading, the two sections of code are 
completely unrelated. The only difference I can think of is that in 
'Incremental every hour' mode Summary would tend to be using quite a bit 
of memory, while in normal mode it would be using little memory at that 
time. If you were running out of virtual memory it could cause a problem 
for SFTP. You should make sure that you have more physical RAM then 
Summary says it is using in the Program Status report and that you have a 
reasonably sized swap partition.

The most likely cause is that SFTP is failing for reasons that have 
nothing to do with 'Incremental every hour', and it only appears that 
they are related. You might want to check the Linux system log file 
(typically /var/log/messages) to see if there are any error messages from 
SFTP there. SFTP connections are somewhat more dependent on reliable 
Internet connections than normal FTP connections are.

Basically, I have no idea what is happening. Any additional information 
you can provide might help.

Good Luck
Jason

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
