If you rate limit the naive way you would end up with info that's arbitrarily old and out of date. To get something that's guaranteed not to be older than some maximum age we would have to start with setting timers and setting the proctitle in a signal handler which would be much more complex than what I think you're imagining. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
