Yes, ok... but the problem are the outdated version still floating around and which DON'T have such a built-in mechanism AND which won't probably be updated anytime soon; in such cases the only solution is the draconian one used by some DNSBLs when they closed, that is, change things so that the admins WILL have to move their fat ass and investigate about some "malfunction" ... and discover that they'll need to update things :) In out case, setting up some mechanism to forbid griplist access from outdated versions (ok... I'm not suggesting to "crash" them but... <eg>) may "ring some bell" and force some sleeping admins to upgrade their ASSP installs :D > The Auto Upgrade process now works absolutly superb. Just click on > the link. Done. But maybe it should be automatically. Hm... no, see, you can't tell if a given running ASSP may be stopped at a given time (even for a short while); better imHo the notification email; just ensure to resend it at intervals :) also, and since we're at it, since ASSP connects to the "mothership" for version checking it may ALSO in case there's an update, fetch a "notice" file and include the infos from such a file in the notification email; such a file may then be used to let the admins know that they MUST upgrade since "the new version fixes bug x, y and z" ... and so on :) uh... btw an automatic update option may still be there, just ... make it optional please (I prefer doing that by hand and at a time when I know that it won't "break" things :D - see, "peak hours" aren't the same around the globe ;-D) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
