[Orca-users] Re: Orca stopped logging....

[Blair Zajac]

I'm curious as to the undefined value warning at line 533 in orca.  Can
you email us the couple of lines before and after this?

If there are no files dated after September 5, then it looks like an
orcallator.se problem.  Can you also send the output of restart_orcallator

Thanks,
Blair
