Hi Ken, I found that brutality worked best: "kill -9 xxxx" where xxxx is the PID of EzStream. Being gentle with it got me nowhere - so a larger hammer was required J It takes a few moments for the app to restart, but it always does.

Thanks. If it does the trick I may just put this in crontab and do it every so often. 73 Ken From: David Osborn [mailto:david.osborn@manx.net] Sent: Saturday, October 05, 2013 1:01 PM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Cc: ke2n@cs.com Subject: re: [App_rpt-users] streaming restart Hi Ken, I occasionally have issues with EZStream taking-up 100% CPU time - I just kill it and it gets re-started by the app_rpt outstream command. No need to re-boot. Try that and see how you fare. David
