      Hi,
      I have small problem with mango, from time to time it stops to respond. After correlation of dates in watchlist and ma-script.log, I found that it happens when in ma-script.log occure messages:

      śro, 8 lut 2017, 03:18:24 CET ma-start: no restart flag found, not restarting MA
      śro, 8 lut 2017, 03:18:24 CET ma-start: MA done
      

      I don't know why it happens? After that I have to restart mango application. Please help. Best regards.

        Hi przemom,

        The ma-script.log file should only have the output from the Mango/bin scripts in it, which will not tell you why Mango has shut down. For that, you should be looking in your ma.log file. A likely candidate could be that you have the brewersdashboard module installed, which without a license will shut down Mango in 8 hours. An unlicensed NoSQL module will do likewise.

            Hi przemom,

            Interesting! Some questions,

            1. Are you running two instances of Mango? If not, what's the other java process? It looks like it killed PID 17640 but I don't see that as being Mango, since ma-start and 15950 java belong to uid 0.
            2. Are you using any ext-enabled scripts to set the heap? I think the OS OOM-Killer should only be active if the system as a whole is starved for memory, which means you can probably set the -Xmx (max heap memory) to prevent Java from expanding its heap too large and aggravating the OS. Looks like your RPi has a gig of memory. Depending on what that other Java is doing, I would think you should try a static heap of half the available memory, so move memory-small.sh from Mango/bin/ext-available to ext-enabled and set them to -Xmx500m -Xms500m then restart Mango. With a limited heap, Mango shouldn't use all the systems' memory and thus shouldn't be killed by the OOM-Killer

              My RPI is a testing machine, so I test mango and openhab. I added memory-small.sh with changes You suggested. Tomorrow I will let You know if it help. Thanks
