Win 2003_HP box... grey screen of... slumber?

[frailer]

Monday morn here... Was outputting plates. XMF output window not reflecting what's coming out.... got a full set but shows a download on Y and a waiting-in-queue on K. This occurs occasionally. OK, after restarting XMF Client, (no luck), I did the 'proper' thing in the hierarchy of resets... I.e. close:
-Client
-XMF server
-shut down Luxel.

Restarted in reverse order. Client still outa whack on that output, so nothing's been wiped/reset.

next (normal) escalation is to do a restart on the HP box. This would normally re-align all stars. But it's frozen on a grey screen, with still responsive mouse cursor, (but nothing else).

I think this has happened as it's tried to shut down, not on any restart.

Awaiting call-back from Fujifilm guy fr interstate, (Sydney guy's off sick).

Thought I'd fly the kite here while I'm waiting... shitty time difference though...



... my guess is a hot-button off, but am loathe to do it until I talk to a Fujifilm guy.

Spoke with parent company's IT mob. Have buttoned off, left for 5 mins, powered back on.

So far so good. Re-rendering whole of job which had some accumulated errors in it, which seemed to be a bit 'sticky'.

Am not asking this version of XMF to multi-task from here on, until it's replaced, hopefully within next few months, (in my advanced years, I still believe in fairy tales).

TG we are pretty quiet this week. Look on the bright side, as this has taken up about 2 hours this morn.

'Normal' output has recommenced... for now.

hot-button off is my standard go to move.

Is that the Brit show? :laugh:

I like the one where they leave a recording on their phone to reboot. :laugh:

The IT Crowd is one of the funniest series that I have watched. I think I have every character in our organisation. 
Definitely worth a download if you have never watched it.

As Diddler says, Trace... required watching.

We have resumed 'normal' programming.

I think it was Frailer that turned me on to the IT crowd. Definitely worth a watch.
