It does nothing. the server refuses to start and places nothing in the log file whatsoever. I am not a linux programmer so I do not know how to load it up under a debugger, nor would I be able to probably figure out much of what its saying if I did.
For example, here is the tail of my log file when I tried restarting AS with the zippy option on: [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.1024][-main-] Notice: nsmain: AOLserver/3.4 stopping [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.1024][-main-] Notice: nssock: triggering shutdown [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.8201][-keepalive-] Notice: keepalive: shutdown pending [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.8201][-keepalive-] Notice: keepalive: shutdown complete [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.1024][-main-] Notice: serv: stopping connection threads [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.1024][-main-] Notice: serv: connection threads stopped [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.7176][-nssock-] Notice: exiting [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.1024][-main-] Notice: sched: shutdown pending [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.2051][-sched-] Notice: sched: shutdown started [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.2051][-sched-] Notice: sched: shutdown complete [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.1022979][-shutdown-] Notice: nslog: closing '/aolserver/servers/stopthesanity/modules/nslog/access.log' [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.1022979][-shutdown-] Notice: nssock: shutdown complete [28/Jan/2002:08:44:51][749.1024][-main-] Notice: nsmain: AOLserver/3.4 exiting Thats it, nothing about any failure when trying to start up again... no log entries means no clue for me on where to start trying to figure out whats up. -- Patrick Spence, MIS Mayor Pharmaceutical Labs/Regency Medical Research, Ltd. 2401 South 24th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.vitamist.com *** All contents of this email message are confidential and private.
