Kurth:
"Why do you have to notify them...."...
You got me there, so I had to ask. The machine which is handling qmail also
has a modem card (96 ports) where people dial-in. A patch is being installed
into the modem software. It seems that most of the people are constantly
logged into this machine. Now do not ask me why? It does not matter when the
updates are done, the management still would like to inform people, several
times, before the system is re-booted. Just say good service. Any
suggestions.

Why do you have to notify them.....plus as a general rult of thumb any
major upgrades should be done in the early morning when nobody's using the
system. Why have 200 people asking why outlook pops up an stupid error
message when you don't have to :-)
what are you patching? the only thing we have to reboot for is hardware
replacement and new kernels..everything else can be patched or compiled
withoug rebooting.
