RE: [misterhouse-users] Fw: proxy machines out of sync

[Timothy S. <spaulding@ICanBrew.com>]

I have I think a better idea on what is happening.

The one proxy is hosting iButtton stuff and if I make a call to the
iButton to get data, the proxy and main mh become in sync again.

The other proxy that does the serial Barcode stuff only sends data to
the main MH box (and data is never requested from that proxy machine),
so they would never come in sync again.

I there some code that I can use to force a re-init of the
serial_barcode_port when that proxy is out of sync?

The proxies are running Winxp (both machines) and I have upgraded all of
them to 2.82.

If the proxies go down (due to power or restart), I do get this message
and the main MH is still running just fine.

On the Proxy that is doing my serial barcode stuff, if I try to send a
barcode via proxy over to the main MH, nothing happens.

I have not noticed any errors on either side, but cannot be sure I have
looked.  Will restart proxy (without restarting main MH) and try again
to see what happens.

hmmm, this should get re-synced automatically as soon as the the missing
process is restarted.   I often restart my main and/or proxy mh without
problems.   What OS are you using for 2 processes?  What mh version?
This
message comes from code/proxy/proxy_server.pl:

                                # Make sure main mh program is still
alive if (new_minute 5 and !active $proxy_server) {
    speak "Proxy can not talk to Mister House";
}


So you would get that if your main mh was down.  Do you also get errors
if you restart your proxy (should some errors in the print_log when
sending data to the proxy)

Hi All,
I have 2 proxy MH boxes, one does a serial barcode reader and the other
is for ibuttons.

If either proxy mh process is restarted (or network connections are
lost), they become out of sync and I get the message "proxy cannot talk
to MisterHouse".

1. is there a way to resync these without restarting the main MH process
(I have always had to do this to get to sync up again.)

2. Am I missing something else that would make this work?

Tim
