Dont have access to the box right now, and dont really want to mess with shuttign down the server, since I have to reboot it to resolve the problems it causes. > Does it cause problems when you send a HUP to it? (I assume stopping and > restarting referrs to actually shutting it down completely) Havent tried HUPing the actual server... we need to be abel to shut it down, and bring it back up automatically for the purpose of safely calculating webstats, and rotating logs > Does this problem go away by itself? If so, how long does it take? Not that we have seen.. the server must be rebooted
