I read "Covalent Managed Servers Console" all over the place on this one! :-) Incredible what marketing does to people! :-) I also know that maybe a couple of clients of yours here in London might like that feature, as they asked me if it was possible to implement... :-) As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy with my old way of CVSing out web-applications and deploying them on my servers keeping them in sync, and if something dies, Mr. Bergstein (cr.yp.to) already wrote everything I need! :-) > So there are separate issues - the most important beeing the startup > of tocmat(s) automatically ( like jserv - but not strictly tied to apache > process lifecycle ). I can tell you that our main Java instance for VNUNET.COM takes approximately 4 to 5 minutes to start... If I don't reply to HTTP when that thing is down, I'm going to loose my job, so it's not something I feel that in a real-life production environment comes handy... That said, if that's your itch, scratch it... I'm not going to use it! :-) Pier -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
