Seriously, how much time did you gain every reboot? 15 secs? And how often did you really reboot those boxes? Frequent power outages? And how does that time compare to the time fiddling with dmassage? Now, I won't tell you how to spend your time. Fiddling with stuff can be fun. I just do not see any reason for making your system more complex for virtually no gain. /Alexander > > Now I wanted to see if it worked with a more complex set up.
