Remind me to tell you about the conversation I had with the chief sysprog many years ago when I said that it was pointless backing up the warm & ckpt areas and he disagreed. Shortly thereafter we had an outage and a restore was needed. As such they restored the warm & ckpt areas and lo and behold, some people were suddenly able to look at the spool files of 2nd and 3rd lines managers. The system was shut down and restarted appropriately PDQ. I don't believe that could happen these days with the changes to the spool handling system that have taken place. However it does illustrate a point. -- Rod ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
