Hi, You say you want to reconnect the driver to a postgres that has been shut down,,, at this moment, I'm not quite understanding: you can't connect to a server which is not running.
But, if you mean that you start the server after that and expect aolserver to be watching for this, it would require aolserver to be polling for the connection periodically. I don't believe it would be useful to require aolserver to have to watch for dropped connections to aolserver; that takes an extra process or thread and CPU time that should be used for what aolserver's job is. For all intents and purposes, openacs requires postgres to be up. If you'd like to shut postgres down, it only makes perfect sense that you should also shut the openacs instances using it. Having said all this, would it be possible to add a feature to aolserver where an admin sends a signal to aolserver which responds by trying to open database connections? -Jim -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
