I'm honestly glad to hear that you are having a good experience with it. Do you manage a lot of machines, or just one or two? Until recently, the *NIX world didn't have great (maybe just inexpensive/free) cluster-management utilities like Puppet. I believe Windows had that capability (e.g. Tivoli) much earlier, though I think it was initially aimed at administering fleets of workstations, not servers. Extending that capability to manage servers was probably trivial. >> I hope things have changed, but everyone I ever knew that ran >> Windows Server OSs in production had scheduled rolling-reboots of >> their servers because things just tended to "work" when they did >> that.

I wish you the best of luck. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJS4pehAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYrMAQAJH9Jyz6V1C2Cx913B//NdKI rzSZOgBDRMLwi3eORY/cE5FJ0bW+5khP9BryIJ/AeHxY4zDyMgx8ICJot/wtI1QI Ru2hdjr+YMjE4TZmtpI9khBgKwb5HKJ7q27RQaxgN08BzH/t0tPQOmrIxO0+Z1lO mxiEw7DomEG0Xbsv4u2oAlu8GlBYOMWZ5AC4a/ag1u2k65kS/JEneLYSBNepuMlJ aIRfd4WUE+qjoykHo9uSR6XLaJEj5igozuCCrCcIL7u5NuBzeH3Gc56GGnV0V9Ye Qygpr+T0j6MS+Yza92ybng7g7QcKB6lh5maMYalnj/G/bU2I1Q4mcBtZsxsrevin NB5QJgvbZ+wZJeWQMH5h92v//zh0c8r0WZrVTF81ZYxXYo8HAwRFagKzY6qBxBeS njnXim86JBooPW1JhxYalrNgKV1pK7MxfTNkfvmK18L3ALMhf5A2qhd8Q3BIsWOQ Yi6t4JUlOGM32/3NcYcIT6/rYdIEZLOv9VEabV5WvcMQnq++ViUHjV64hWlknvCB hoRHN45ipj51vC6VRY6nq/FZ+L5gIWzb9q719sVGjwfLiFkF63biVppwYO5adWD+ pubXRs7Toxd1uYGM0bi3ruq/dL9B6m9EzIKN6nZsW4wrTWIvVNU/i0IWoNXHffJw ygFownq0oWKSG86riRfZ =6Aq+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
