I noteced that myself, but I wasn't sure of what was going on.

No, it's coming from outside of my system, I checked, and no one has been on at the times this happens. I showed you todays, as I was in front of the system when It happened. Some days it will 20 to 30 errors in the error log.

I tried changing the line in mrc-connector.js:
from
log(LOG_ERR, 'Invalid MRC line: ' + line):
to
log(LOG_INFO, 'Invalid MRC line: ' + line):

but it didn't like it, and gave me another error, which I can't remember. Hope this info helps. Where is the actual log file kept, and what is it's name for the info and debug info.
