Well... I would actually record these items in a file somewhere. Once upon a time the ltp-results@ list was a good source for this data, but I don't know how useful this data is anymore or how much/well this data is reported and subsequently mined (I'm not on the list for instance)... > On the other end I do not object to adding test for file locks with > SA_RESTART.
