I have a server running FMPro, WebSTAR, SIMS (formerly EIMS), ListSTAR, and Vicomsoft Internet Gateway. It seems to crash (or at least WebSTAR crashes) about every 10 days. It did this *even before* I installed SIMS. It did it when it ran on different hardware under OS 8.6. It did it running different versions of ListSTAR and WebSTAR. My theories boil down to: 1) Unidentifed memory leak somewhere. 2) Cosmic rays changing a 1 to a 0 somewhere. 3) Hardware and software "just get tired" after a while. 4) A seldom used area of RAM or hard drive space has marginal performance, gets used, and causes the crash. 5) Problem with some Microsoft stuff (don't have any, but everyone else blames them!). In practical terms, it probably is not worth the effort to track this down if it can be avoided by rebooting once a week. Just reboot! Glad to hear I am not the only person afflicted by these gremlins. -- Neil Neil Herber, RGD Corporate info at http://www.eton.ca/ Eton Systems, 15 Pinepoint Drive, Nepean, ON, Canada K2H 6B1 Tel: (613) 829-4668 ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
