Yesterday toolbox emailed that cumulus stopped running.

Logged in remotely and found it to be the case.

Started cumulus again and all is fine.

the elf file (Attached) says that
Quote:
Cannot create file "C:\Program Files\Cumulus\cumulus.ini". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

I can't add much more than the error message already says. Something has locked the cumulus.ini file so Cumulus can't write to it. It seems that you clicked on the Cumulus clock to change it to/from 24-hour mode, and it tried to save the new setting but couldn't. I suppose it shouldn't crash in this situation, but there shouldn't be anything else stopping it from writing to its files in the first place; it's not going to be able to work properly if that happens frequently. It seems to be an ever more common occurrence.

I have never once had this file locking problem on any Cumulus files; but then again I don't run any other software on my weather server that might try to access the files - e.g. anti-virus etc.
