I’ve noticed this happening a few times. A project will be running for hours and hours (19 hours currently), but clicking on view log takes me to the last log, not the currently executing one. Using Process Explorer I don’t see any children on FBCMD.exe. Restarting the build service causes the long running project to report success, but the log is not from the long running build, it’s from the previous one.   
  
 I’m not sure if this is related, but I have 12 projects which are triggered nightly at the same time and my build queue is set to only allow 1 to build at a time.

Hi Nelson,   
  
 I’m assume that when you kill the FBCMD.exe process the project stops running in FinalBuilder? It seems that something is halting FBCMD before even starting the build. Could you please turn on trace logging in FinalBuilder Server and then send in the log to support [at] [finalbuilder.com](http://finalbuilder.com) after it has happened again?   
  
 To turn on trace logging:   
  
 1. Edit ‘FinalBuilderServer.exe.config’ in the FinalBuilder Server installation directroy.   
 2. Add \< add key=“TraceOutput” value=“true” / \> to the appSettings node.   
 3. Restart the FinalBuilder Server build service.   
  
 Regards,   
 Paul.
