Thanks for having a look into that. I've meanwhile compared the VM output of this task to other tasks I have running (they log 30-50.000 events after a few hours), so, sadly, I have aborted this task.

I'm currently working on a task that is in its third try.

Name Theory_2687-2600407-1156
created 18 Mar 2024, 23:43:41 UTC

The first two errors may have been caused by failed restarts, but I'm no expert in log analysis.
Currently, the task has been running for over 4 CPU days and is at 43%. I'll probably miss the deadline. I've had a look at the VM status as described in a related thread, but can't interpret the data. There doesn't seem to be progress.

There are two PYTHIA Warnings and the last lines are
700 events processed
dumping histograms...

Is it worth continuing, or what else could I check? Any help appreciated.
