[KSB] How do you know that globals were affected? Are you sure that new processes could not connect because globals were affected, or because of something liek the pool of Taskman processes for handling old style client connections being used up? > As anyone knows that has been around this list for a few years, I am a > strong > proponent of getting CPRS running on Linux and have put a bit of time > and > effort into trying to get it to happen, but wishing it were so does > not make > it so.

[KSB] I would not advocate using untested *any* application that you plan to put into production! Even a "proven" application must be tested in your environment before it goes live. In fact, if you look at the "About" page that comes up in firefox when FOIA VistA VivitA 20060103 boots up, there is a strong caveat about testing and appropriate warnings later in that page that the CPRS GUI under wine on Linux is experimental and your mileage may vary. I am also a fan of the "backup early, backup often" school. Anyone who sets up a complete VistA development environment on a Linux file system using the install script in this SemiVivA and VivitA will note that before image journaling is turned on, even for a development environment. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
