I've seen this problem as well. My solution is to run nnmaster from cron every 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes doesn't seem like much of a delay, and when little new news has arrived it runs very quickly. Perhaps a new feature of nnmaster would be for it to fork a child to perform the actual work. This way if the child exits for any reason, the original nnmaster is still running to run the update later. This kind of strategy is used by sendmail. -- Teraida News Admin (aka Mikel Lechner) UUCP: news@teraida.UUCP Teradyne EDA, Inc. 5155 Old Ironsides Drive Santa Clara, Ca 95054
