I run two versions of Indigo at each of my two homes. I spend very little time at my second home since coronavirus especially, but still rely on the system to water my yard and turn on/off outside lights. I monitor it remotely. The remote system runs on a client-server architecture. The client is an iMac 2011 while the server is a 2011 Mac Mini Server running 10.13.6. The client also runs on the server itself.
My issue is that after some period of time, observed as short as 24 hours of running, the client interface goes into a perpetual spin and cannot be used without a force quit and then client software restart. The server runs fine in the background and I see no evidence of a problem or shutdown in the logs. The client interface is simply unusable without quitting and restarting it.
This has actually gone on for 6-12 months now and preceded 7.4 of Indigo (which I currently use). Upgrading made no difference. I use the client so infrequently that this does not bother me. But it is irritating enough I would like to resolve.
I'd be happy to provide logs, but I don't see anything in there to indicate why there should be an issue. The client shutdown does not even show up on the log except for two entries client cocoa disconnected and client cocoa connected - from the shutdown and restart. There is no indication in the log that the client hung.
One other note - in order to do a force quit, I must make a different application (or the finder) the active screen to access the force quit memo. Indigo is then listed as "not responding" so the need to quit/restart is obvious.
Any ideas or steps to diagnose?
