RE: Re[4]: [sniffer] When to go persistent

[Colbeck, Andrew]

Goran,

When you issue a reload you can tell that the new rulebase is being used
because the *.svr file's date and time will change to the current time.

RE: Re[4]: [sniffer] When to go persistent

[Goran Jovanovic]

Hi,

I just got my service up and running using Matt's post 

http://www.mail-archive.com/sniffer@sortmonster.com/msg00169.html

It was simple especially since I already the resource kit installed.

Now I know that this I supposed to work to get the persistent instance
to load the new rulebase after a download.

REM Load new rulebase file.
%LicenseID%.exe reload


But is there any way to query the service and ask it to tell you when
was the last time the rulebase was loaded? Or what version of the
rulebase it is using? When running in peer mode this question does not
arise since the instances read the file off disk so there is no problem.
With the persistent instance this is not the case and I would like to
know that it really is using the newest rulebase.
