The method we use is obvious (in hindsight) ... Not sure what it's called - it used to be AT, and is the Windows equivalent of cron ...
That isn't time controlled. It can be, but it can also be event controlled. And one of the events that are controlled is a reboot. So we can/did/do run a uv command from the windows command line using this mechanism to restart all our phantoms after the nightly reboot. You probably want to put a "sleep" into the windows .cmd file, otherwise you may find your UV command tries to run before the UV server has fully woken up.

We are running on win 2003 server. I had an idea to check system(3001) which is the universe user1 performance monitor. I can change it using: ASSIGN 1 TO SYSTEM(3001) It shows up in the windows performance monitor, but: PRINT SYSTEM(3001) always returns 0. My thought was to make all application logons go through a simple check at logon and if the value was zero, to dispatch a phantom, increment the value and continue. thus providing a mechanism to launch a phantom process the first time someone logs in after a reboot. i.e.: VALUE = SYSTEM(3001) IF VALUE = 0 THEN EXECUTE "PHANTOM background.process...." END VALUE = VALUE + 1 ASSIGN VALUE TO SYSTEM(3001) I'm wondering why one can set the value "system(3001..3005) but there seems to be no way to interrogate the value. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users *********************************************************************************** This transmission is intended for the named recipient only.
