I will bet the user was/is a "hit the X in the corner person"
instead of exiting correctly. If they do that when stuff is
writing, this can be a mess.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I have run into this issue at least once a month at a client site. The issue is with their order header file which has no deleted records. The issue occurs when orders are being entered and saved. The quickest was to rebuild the free chain is on the server. All of the order clerks exit down to a menu or log off the system. It just takes too long to rebuild the free chain across the network.
I have to check the code again to see why this may be occurring. The error occurs in the same clerks computer each time. That seems to indicate an issue in her machine. It will be swapped out for a new machine shortly. Once that is done, I will log in and rebuild the free chain.

I used to blame it on solar activity back in the day, because there was no reason other it did seem to happen more often when there was known issues with sunspot levels.
IIRC what you are seeing is the correct behavior, however when it hangs when running in the background, *that* is the interesting bit. Everyone out of the system and a manual run of freechain with full backups and a way to fix broken key/data offset points. Don't miss those days.
I see that we are in a solar activity lull so my wives tale is of no use <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2019/04/10/experts-predict-the-solar-cycle/">https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2019/04/10/experts-predict-the-solar-cycle/</a>

Subject: 5.0.14 - freechain?
We've started seeing the freechain command popping up in atop and top for a specific filePro file. It runs at 100% of a CPU core worth of usage for multiple seconds, then exits. It's doing this regularly.
What is likely causing it to run, and how do we rectify whatever is going on? We've not really seen this before a day ago, and we have been monitoring this system for ages.
Thanks!
