We've traded machine failure for service failure. Imo, a great improvement. Not the end and be all, I agree. I've kept the fix very simple: clean exit if the database becomes unreachable. A situation easily handled by using a keep-a-live guardian cronjob. I use those all the time for stuff like nscd on busy servers. Better nagios pages me for dbmail/mysql failure, rather than that a whole machine needs to be rebooted. Still, I do agree there's plenty room to improve the relevant code in the preforking framework. Feel free to file a new bug, or better yet a patch :-) -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] NET FACILITIES GROUP PGP: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
