Launcher gone missing

As im updating to beta2, i noticed that the launcher is not running on at least around 30% or the slaves (so i have to manually restart those).

I could not find a crash report so far in the event viewer for when the launcher disappeared…

Hey Laszlo,

If you can zip up the logs from one or two of the machines that this happened on, we’ll take a look.

Thanks!

There is nothing in the launcher logs to indicate an error…:

The full log:

Could not find anything in the even viewer neither

The only launcher exceptions i could find are from june/july, which i think were older builds, and unrelated to their current disappearance:

My guess is that an error didn’t occur, but that the launcher just exited at some point (especially if there is nothing in the event log). If you could zip up the log folder and send it to us, we can see what the launcher was doing the last time it ran.

Attached is a log folder for a machine where the slave is running, but the launcher is missing.
