Pete, Yes the file is changing every few seconds or sooner. Sorry, I just did a 'grab' of it and posted. The 307 is due to me stopping it after 30 min or so and altering the few changes to the .conf file. I will continue to monitor it over the weekend. However, so far so good. Thanks again for taking the time to help out. Keith

If not then the persistent engine has stopped. In fact, 307 seconds is scarcely 5 minutes - not 30. It appears that at the time you sampled the file your system was happily humming along at about 1 msg/sec... which is a lul for you. Remember that your average would be about 1.7 messages per second. I also note that the load and poll time indicated a good deal of "dead air" so the system was definitely not working hard at the time. Take a look at it again and make sure that the .stat file changes every 1-4 seconds or so. If not then the persistent server has stopped - at least the client instances will see it that way.
