Indeed. At my previous job, I upgraded a HTTP proxy server from a.out to ELF format with only 2 minutes downtime: i.e. the time needed to reboot a kernel that supported both binary formats. All the other stuff, libraries, daemons, utilities, ... were upgraded multiuser, with a fully functioning proxy! (I tested the scenario first on another, non production host though, just to be sure). In some situations, this is an important feature. -- -- Patrick Weemeeuw [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- NetVision NV, Parijsstraat 74, B-3000 Leuven -- Tel: +32_16_31.00.15 Fax: +32_16_31.00.29 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
