I'm a little puzzled as to what happened, but on Saturday Morning at 3:10 AM my VisualCron service restarted, but no jobs were running. I had to log in through the client and turn it on. I've gone through the server logs to try to piece it together but I'm still not sure why the service restarted nor why no jobs ran.
The server_startup and log_server files are attached. There are two errors in the log_server, 'timePutter exists' but they might be benign. Also in the log_server on the startup there's a message; Skipping RunMissed because the server is off, but I don't know for sure if this is indicative of a problem.

You seem to have hit the Off button in the Client. This stops all executions. Try turning it on again.

You seem to have hit the Off button in the Client.

I hope the system time is wrong, or else it is quite early.

---

Yes, it is quite early. At 3:10AM on a saturday no one would have been within a 9 hour reach of that server. Yes, I already turned the VC Server back on, I wrote that in my post. I went through the logs trying to find if someone had accidentally turned the VC server off earlier w/o finding a user. If someone clicks the off button for the server, what should the log mesage be?

You might see something in the log_trayclient file. You can see client logins in there.

Regards
Erik

You should see it in the log_serverXXXXXX.txt file for the day it happened.
