i don't like these auto upgrade features built in the application itself. some companies have sysadmins responsible for the system including installation of software packages and backup admins responsible for administration of the backup system. it's not a good idea to mix the responsibilities IMHO. i think upgrading software like bacula clients should be left to software designed for that. almost every company has such a software distribution system, especially if we talk about a large number of installations. regards, -ap ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
