Voyager hangs up

I’ve got a problem where voyager just seems to hang up just after the
voyager splash screen comes up. It is on QNX 4.2x.
Any hints on how I can debug this?

Regards,

John

Run “sin” and see what voyager and voyager.server are up to.
I’ve used to see voyager hand like this all the time.
Sometimes it was URL dependent, and sometimes it just seemed
to happen when I’d been surfing for a while.

I haven’t noticed it lately, and I think I must have
upgraded since then. My voyager is 2.20B Oct 13 1999.

One thing voyager.server does on startup is to verify its on-disk
cache. If you have a large on-disk cache, and voyager.server has
died, or been terminated without time to properly synchronise its
on-disk cache, the startup can take a while. If going to a local
drive, is your drive busy while this is happening? Also, check with
“sin”, or actually, with several repeated runs of “sin” – is voyager
blocked on something? (Probably voyager.server) Is voyager.server
blocked on something? If it is Fsys, or occasionally Fsys and running
READY, this means it is likely to be checking its cache. You can
also check to see if it is making progress by:

“sin -Pvoyager.server fi” to see what file it is currently dealing with.
