The fact that it would restore the state of things when it crashed is probably what you are looking for.
Running two at the same time would cause frogs to fall from the sky, boils to appear on the skin, Michael Jackson, and other biblical plagues to ruin your day... :-) Seriously, since the usplog file is ONLY used at startup in order to re-establish the previous state, actually running both wouldn't cause a problem while running. The problem would be that you would be guaranteed to lose the state of at least one of the running systems (whichever stopped first) Dave -----Original Message----- If I recall (please correct me Dave), the usplog file gets re-written each time it is changed. So if the UVSPOOL directory is shared, wouldn't the fall back UV read it and be the same as the crashed UV? What I wonder about is what happens if someone starts *both* UV's at the same time. What kind of contention problems would having UVSPOOL on a shared filesystem cause? -- Regards, Clif ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.
