HI,

My gateway spontaneously restarts a few times a day. The log just says  
`Restarting gateway scripts...`

Is there any way I can find out more information, like why or what restarted it?

Thanks

‘Restarting gateway scripts’ does not mean that the entire system restarted.  
What is making you think the entire gateway is restarting?  
Can you upload the `wrapper.log` file?

Scripts are restarted whenever the containing project is saved.

Apparently mostly ignorance made me think that. I guess it makes sense, a gateway restart would mean it was unavailable for a little while.

I’m pretty sure I hadn’t done a save at that point. I’l keep watching it to make sure I have my head on straight.

Thanks!
