Mine too, OS X 10.4.11, periodically stops and the last log entry is, as above, "num entries purged: xx". When purging entries, does DH then quit and restart? What might cause DH to stop after purging entries? Seems like maybe I need to set up a cron job to periodically check the DH status and, if stopped, restart it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
