-U n means the service will die after it services n connections. -T n means the service will die after waiting n seconds for a connection (i.e. without any work to do). > In /etc/cyrus.conf, I added in the SERVICES section: > > nntp cmd="nntpd -U 500 -T 600 -f " listen="nntp" prefork=5 If you want it to run 24/7, drop the -U and -T. And don't prefork 5 of them if you want just one of them active. And -T + prefork means your system will be killing and respawning processes every n minutes, as all preforked processes die and are immediately respawned. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
