It's not really necessary, but doesn't hurt and does provide an extra measure of safety. Its main nice feature is that it prevents us from losing up to ten minutes of data (or whatever the cron interval is) if we do a quick move or reconfig or reboot - it ensures that the data we save on disk really is the most recent that gmetad collected. -- Cos ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
