because you're only looking at one side of the race condition your check goes to sleep for 3 seconds ... then the service starts up but because it's a slow CPU, it takes 10 seconds to get to the config file parsing where it fails and exits silently ... when the check wakes back up it goes 'hey, service is still running, all is good' -mike -- [email protected] mailing list
