True, but you only need one of those monitoring functions and in the event that it isn't answering requests the monitoring process should just be able to send it a signal to get it back into an operational state rather than worry about the complexities ;-) of restarting it. Different users will have different needs, but its nice if the option is there rather than *having* to use a watchdog because there's no alternative. -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list: http://www.aolserver.com/listserv.html List information and options: http://listserv.aol.com/
