Every morning I take the twgs down to do a fast back up. This morning, I selected shutdown with a 5 minute delay. I forgot to look back at the twgs for more than an hour. (thats the problem with doing it manually)

When I did look back, the twgs timer was still stuck at 5 minutes and I had to manually stop the twgs service with 'TWGSServ.exe stop' to shut it down.

I am running WinXP 32bit on a solid machine, 2.2ghz Intel Dual Core with 3 gigs of ram.

Here's the screenshot, I removed the sectors and IP addresses from the shot.

I've seen this happen before, and it was caused by an error when starting shutdown. The error should be reported in the Log area of the main console (click the Log button). So if it happens again, look at that and report it.

BTW, the number in parenthesis where it says "playing game" is actually the process ID in case you want to look it up in your task manager. It's not a sector number.
