Hello,

since i updated my Node-Red to v1.0.6 with the installer script from the page, its restarting at some random points.

The log shown in "node-red-log" shows me following:

8 Jun 22:34:43 - [red] Uncaught Exception:  
8 Jun 22:34:43 - Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 192.168.2.169:49000

Welcome to Node-RED

Any idea?

it seems to be timing out trying to connect to 192.168.2.169 port 49000  
Do you know what that is ?

192.168.2.169 is my Fritzbox, and port 49000 is used for IOBrokers TR-064 Adapter, which is monitoring the calls on my Fritzbox.

See more here. The problem got fixed.

Is it a custom node or are you using built in TCP/UDP nodes?

If its a custom node, then the developer should be made aware of his node crashing node-red (basically - no node should bring down node-red - there should be no `Uncaught Exception`s)

If you can find it in the flows library, there may be a link to the developers repository where you should be able to raise an issue (if one doesnt exist already). If its not abandoned, the dev should fix it up.
