Command line stdout to .txt log file creation creates huge file during error

vmajhu
in Acrosync for Windows
Hi All,

We use ver1.7 on Windows 10, through command line as a scheduled task. 

We're finding occassionally that when Acrosync crashes with the following message it starts to build a massive .txt file whilst piping stdout output to it. 

The task has finished it task manager, no CMD window open, but the Acrosync process repeatedly keeps writing the following message at the bottom to the .txt file until we kill the process running in Windows Resource Monitor, where you can see Acrosync still running.

.txt file sizes are in the gigabytes in size, one was 7gb until we killed the process. I've tried piping 1>> to one file and 2>> to another, but both error and non-error messages come through stdout and not seperately in stderr.

Any help to filter out or seperate the error messages would be helpful. We tried using | findstr **** >> .txt but doesn't seem to work with the Acrosync output.

Thanks in advance.

    I couldn't reproduce this problem and I don't know where this .txt file came from.  Acrosync doesn't log to any .txt file by default.

    Can you create a dump file using Task Manager (right click the Acrosync process and select "create dump file") next time this happens?

    We're running the acrosynce job as a command line executable inside a batch script, the makeshift log .txt file is created by dumping stdout to a text file, as below...

    C:\FOLDER\FOLDER\FOLDER\AcrosyncClient64.exe -p PUBLISH 1>> \\NAS\FOLDER\ACROSYNC.txt 2>> \\NAS\FOLDER\ACROSYNC_ERROR.txt

    Most of the time it works fine but we're having issues with a job that pulls down files from the host, when it locks up it contiuously dumps the previous error message.

    Missed it today but will create a dump next time.

    Hello,

    dump file available from the following link. If you want me to mail or upload it somewhere else let me know.

    Regards.
