That was the idea I had, but it seems it is a brand new run of all my
code, thus the variable values are lost and re-initialized. I've been
working on writing to a file on disk, and reading that in, but that is a
lot of over head I'd like to avoid.
Thanks though.

I think I read something about this in Nick's
book, but I don't recall exactly. Anyway in case
someone more knowledgeable than I doesn't reply, remember
you can of course just set a variable the first time your
functions are run and then on future invocations you'll
return immediately if the variable is already set.

there a way to make the functions run only once? Maybe some variable
that can be checked stating that the server is reading the conf
files,
actually starting the server, or shutting down?
Thanks
