I've had two crashes this month that seem to be related to our permvars file. The reason I say that is the last entries in the logs involve that file: >12 Jan 2005 07:03:18 Processing mail from ... > >*** FIO file cache now totals 5122k. A list of cached files follows. *** > >File size Usage Flags File name >--------- ----- ----- --------- > 5122k 1 U /home/listserv/home/permvars.file > >12 Jan 2005 07:40:12 LISTSERV(R) for unix version 1.8e starting... Anything I should be doing to avoid this in the future? I run a daemon every half hour to check that the server is running. That's why the restart was at 07:40. -- What happens when you illegally park a frog? It gets toad away.
