There is no option for losing mail or users. ;) > what are the ramifications on downtime? Absolutely minimal. At the appropriate point, the script will stop qmail, do a single "rpm -Uvh ..." command, then start qmail again, all without any intervention. The down time varies with the number of packages being updated and processor speed. In general it will take a minute or so for a few packages, up to 10 minutes or so to upgrade everything on a Pentium-II/266 (most of this time is for generating keys for qmail-toaster package). You should upgrade your qmailtoaster-plus package before running qtp-newmodel. > here is what i have > rpm -qa | grep qmailtoaster > > qmailtoaster-plus-0.2.10-1.3.12 > > rpm -qa | grep toaster > > ucspi-tcp-toaster-0.88-1.3.4 > qmail-toaster-1.03-1.3.13 > autorespond-toaster-2.0.4-1.3.2 > qmailadmin-toaster-1.2.9-1.3.3 > isoqlog-toaster-2.1-1.3.2 > clamav-toaster-0.90-1.3.10 > daemontools-toaster-0.76-1.3.2 > vpopmail-toaster-5.4.13-1.3.3 > libsrs2-toaster-1.0.18-1.3.2 > qmail-pop3d-toaster-1.03-1.3.13 > courier-imap-toaster-4.1.2-1.3.6 > qmailtoaster-plus-0.2.10-1.3.12 > control-panel-toaster-0.5-1.3.3 > ezmlm-cgi-toaster-0.53.324-1.3.2 > qmailmrtg-toaster-4.2-1.3.2 > maildrop-toaster-devel-2.0.3-1.3.4 > vqadmin-toaster-2.3.4-1.3.2 > spamassassin-toaster-3.1.7-1.3.6 > ripmime-toaster-1.4.0.6-1.3.2 > libdomainkeys-toaster-0.68-1.3.2 > courier-authlib-toaster-0.59.1-1.3.5 > ezmlm-toaster-0.53.324-1.3.2 > maildrop-toaster-2.0.3-1.3.4 > squirrelmail-toaster-1.4.9a-1.3.5 > simscan-toaster-1.3.1-1.3.4 > > Thanks! > jim > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
