Checkpoint not working in latest version or me being a noob?
#5
This is just the behavior of checkpoint.

For some hash types, it can take a full day (sometimes longer) in order for a checkpoint to occur for a shutdown.

One example is the 2611 hash type (vBulletin < v3.8.5).  It has sometimes taken a full day to shut down hashcat with a checkpoint with this hash type.

I don't know which hash type is the slowest to shut down when issuing a checkpoint, but this could be worth researching.

Maybe there can be a community effort to build a chart that tracks average shutdown times for different hash types when shutting down with a checkpoint.
