Yet another newbie question

[WindForce]

Today, i suspected one of my rigs wasn't crunching, so i stopped the xs_d2ol1 service, and run the agent to see what's going on. As i suspected, i didn't see it crunching, instead, it says "Initializing, this may take a few minutes..." and i noticed it was loading ( or was it checking ) the candidates, but no message about the tasks being crunched etc...
I rebooted the machine, went to the Agent, still the same. I waited for the initialization to finish, but then it just freezes there. I checked on the status page, and all seems normal there. In the end, i just switched back to running the service, but i still don't believe it is doing any serious job. How can i monitor the tasks while the service is running?

try a programm called Dspy, really usefull to see what the service is doing.

what he said, Dspy can moniter all of your node on one computer (networked too??) and pretty much tells you all that you need to know

Yup, downloaded it and testing it as we speak

When you stop the service you also have to go into the task manager and kill Dockwin.exe (or Gridwin.exe depending which is running at the time)

Then you can restart the service or launch the agent manually.

If you don't kill dockwin.exe it will say initializing until it finishes the current candidate.

Thanks, i noticed the dockwin/gridwin still runs after i stop the service, so i intuitively killed it every time

Yea... it will run until it has finished its current candidate.
