Checking if ums running

Post by wolfgangsaul »

Hello,
it seems as if the server has been shut down from time to time without me intending it to. Is there a way to check whether the Server is still running using a batch or something similar?
Thanks
Wolfgang

It should not stop unless you you tell it to stop or something has gone wrong.

If you post your log files I will be able to see why it is stopping.

Where can I find the log file after the server stopped?

The log is at C:\ProgramData\UMS\debug.log but better to pack the logs with the options in UMS as it also includes your configuration files and the previous logs too as restarting UMS creates a fresh log.

I think I have found the error.
The UMS is installed on a computer running Windows 10. This computer is in another room. I control this computer via Windows Remote Desktop. This somehow influences the UMS and causes it to shut down.
