You must restart SA for it to recognize the changes or load via the menu or telnet the host file. In any case it has the same effect, you will be starting from zero as far as status and statistics are concerned. Restarting the service works exactly as expected on my system.
It sounds like you are running two instances of SA. Are you doing this through Terminal Services? If so you are starting a separate application instance of SA and not using the service instance. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim A Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 11:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SA-list] adding entries to SAlive Hi all, I'm attempting to add entries to Servers Alive externally from the GUI. I don't know if this is the best way of doing it but I'm adding lines to the .txt config file that Servers Alive uses and that works well except for Servers Alive not recognizing the new entries until the service is restarted. The issue there is that once the service is restarted all stats are wiped out and things start from scratch. Also, it seems that the SA service needs to be stopped completely and then started again rather than using the "restart service". At least it seems to me when "restart service" is used it doesn't recognize the changes to the .txt file. So, is there some way of getting servers alive to recognize changes to the config file without a restart? Or is there a better way of adding entries programmatically outside of the GUI? On another note, there seems to be a disconnect between the instance of SA running as a service and an instance started via GUI. Is this normal or is there some way to have these interact together as one would expect?
