Or, here's a neat little trick I just learned today (I'm sure many of
you know this already). If you set the IMail services to interact with
the desktop (Using the Services control panel, Startup parameters... you
may have to restart your machine), you'll get little "listener" windows
for each service, minimized on the taskbar. Opening them up, you can
watch the total connections and current connections numbers increment in
real-time.
I watch my server via VNC, and this is pretty useful information. You
can also watch the Web connections hit in real time, just like a
webserver log.
Anyone know the amount of overhead this puts on the system, and whether
or not it's advisable to leave these monitoring windows up?
