If it of interest, I did an uptime just prior to shutdown and the server up was 101 days. I did not run any of the utilities discussed in this thread prior to the reboot so I cannot say if there was any evidence of a resource starvation that might relate to uptime. Thank you very much for your assistance. My postings are a little disjointed because I subscribe to the digest and have to use the archives for questions demanding more immediate responses than once a day. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
