February 27, 201214 yr What do these values mean: unmenu[7975]: bad method - 123 6 1032 460 11 1 96 0 0
February 27, 201214 yr Do a search on the forum for it for more info. Basically there is something on your LAN scanning on port 8080. Or there may be two "loggers" running for unMenu.

February 28, 201214 yr Author Do these values on that line mean anything? Is there a "sniffer" program that can help me to find the source of the problem? So far I have disconnected/switched off all other devices on the LAN, but it keeps going on. Maybe it's the laptop I'm typing this message on? I will switch it off and see what happens.
March 4, 201214 yr Author Up until now I haven't been able to solve this. In the mean time I have changed my router and took off all devices of the network. Right now my network consists off: Netgear WNDR3700 router, 3COM gigabit switch, Unraid server and a Packard Bell TJ75 laptop (WiFi). Even when I switch of the laptop the dreaded bad method lines continue. Attached is my syslog short after a reboot. Can you find what is wrong? syslog-2012-03-03a.txt
March 5, 201214 yr The messages mean that something on the LAN is connecting to to the unMenu port (8080) on the server. I'm not familiar with the "loggers" prostuff mentioned.

March 5, 201214 yr Do these values on that line mean anything? None that I've ever been able to determine. Is there a "sniffer" program that can help me to find the source of the problem? Yes, http://www.wireshark.org/ unfortunately, it will not tell you where messages originate from on your lan, only that they exist. (and we know they exist) So far I have disconnected/switched off all other devices on the LAN, but it keeps going on. Maybe it's the laptop I'm typing this message on? I will switch it off and see what happens. are you sure you turned them all off at the same time? Could it be a neighbor using your wireless LAN perhaps? Could it be your "router" or "cable modem"? The messages are harmless... other than knowing something is probing your LAN.

I am to tired to find it right this second so will leave it for later... or until someone else beats me to it.
March 5, 201214 yr Author I added another Unraid server to my LAN. I don't see the bad method lines showing up there. syslog-Hal-2012-03-05.txt

Look for packets destined to the servers IP address port 8080 and the source address will be shown.
March 5, 201214 yr Author I don't see anything destines to the servers ip, still my syslog fills with those bad method lines. Can it be some loop inside the server itself?
March 5, 201214 yr I don't see anything destines to the servers ip, still my syslog fills with those bad method lines. Can it be some loop inside the server itself? Here is the post I was talking about earlier. Look for that line from the output of: ps -ef and see what you find. Also use the "Kill unMenu" button on the user scripts page, wait 30 seconds and then navigate to the myMain page.
March 5, 201214 yr Author Thanks prostuff1 I found these lines: root 6916 1 0 Mar04 ? 00:00:00 logger -tunmenu -plocal7.info -i root 7922 1 0 Mar04 ? 00:00:00 logger -tunmenu -plocal7.info -i looks familiar? How do I get rid of it permanently? Even after a reboot? Really like to how it is initially invoked.

Yes, that is exactly what I found when trying to track this down. How do I get rid of it permanently? Even after a reboot? Really like to how it is initially invoked. I think mine came about because I was accidentally trying to start 2 instances of unMenu. One from my go script and another from a "auto script install" procedure I have set up on my system. I removed one of the instances and I have not had the issues since. Like I mentioned above, for right now you can issue a "kill 6916" to stop one of them or use the "Kill unMenu" button and that should stop one of them. The other should continue running and unMenu should still work.
March 5, 201214 yr Author I have unmenu invoked in the go script too. How to find to second one? I killed both logger PIDs and saw in my syslog: Mar 5 19:05:20 Tower unmenu-status: Exiting unmenu web-server, exit status code = 141 Mar 5 19:05:20 Tower unmenu-status: Starting unmenu web-server unmenu is still working. Must be something that gets auto installed, maybe through unmenu but where to find it?
