license manager fails, killing maple program
mike newman
i'm running some maple scripts on beta.math overnight due to mength of
computation. so far, it crashes on long (overnight) computations with the
following error. short (few hours) things work fine.
Warning, License manager heartbeat failed. We have lost
connection to the license manager for feature Maple7.
We have attempted to reconnect 0 time(s)
two questions: why did it fail? how can i prevent it? and having lost the
connection, why would it try to reconnect **0** times? that particular
remedy would seem to be identically useless.
i don't think there were memory overflow issues or such in my maple code,
and in fact there is nothing in the output that indicates that my code
wasn't running "normally".
on a possibly unrelated note, this last time i had left my computer on (as
opposed to just nice-ing (nicing?) the process it and turning the machine
off) and when i came back it had shut down the connection, leaving me at
the login screen.
btw, i'm running maple7, for no particular reason; that's what "maple"
defaults to. i'm using the old-fashioned interface, as the fancy-gui runs
slow (and on maple7 has some bugs too). i could try maple8 or maple9 (or
mapleV for all the features i'm using...) but this would involve running
many long scripts... and my impression is that it isn't maple per se that
failed anyway.
thanks!
