can't get to stats.allstarlink.org page.

also my node is unable to get there and its cause multiple, multiple instances of wget to appear. I don't think the statpost code is handling failures to get to the stats page very well. its kind of obsessing over retrys and not killing of the children. I killed off all of them just before I loaded the browser and went to hotmail to send this. I just checked and this is what I got.

they don't seem to be chewing up too much cpu, I wonder if there is a switch to tell wget to die off and not replicate.

stats.allstarlink.org is definitely down. We'll look in to it. I think you might have just uncovered a weakness in app_rpt. with statpost. It should not be spawning any more than one process at a time. If there is a process running, it should just toss out the statpost update and wait for a specific amount of time for it to finish, if it never finishes, it should be killed and a new wget process started. Would you be kind enough to log the issue in Mantis, and paste in the ps -ax output and suggested fix above? Steve WA6ZFT
