There might be exceptions, though. Consider an application that requires a database to be up for startup, but once it's running, is able to survive a database restart, degrading gracefully (serving from cache or whatever). You would not want to degrade ungracefully by shutting it down with the DB. -- Marcin Owsiany <mar...@owsiany.pl> http://marcin.owsiany.pl/ GnuPG: 1024D/60F41216 FE67 DA2D 0ACA FC5E 3F75 D6F6 3A0D 8AA0 60F4 1216 "Every program in development at MIT expands until it can read mail." -- Unknown -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
