So, I was checking one of my clients today and it was.....sleeping.
Yes, that's right, sleeping.
Here is the last part of the log.

[11:53:45] + Sleeping...


So, apparently it was trying to download a new core 5 times before it went sleeping. A restart of the client did two new tries before it finally started folding again. I checked the forums and someone else also got this and also after a p7xx WU as in my case.

I lost 5 hours of folding because of this 'sleeping' so check your clients.

Thanks for the heads up!

Checked the forums again and it seems to be an issue if -advmethods is used and the client tries to download a core that it cannot find for a beta WU. Have removed -advmethods on all clients for now.

OIC... I removed that switch when the error messages started popping up in the logs.
