Two simple TCPIP / FTPSERVE questions.

This is very basic and simple but I can't seem to see the answer anywhere (although it is probably staring me in face). Once TCPIP has decided that it has tried to restart a server (FTPSERVE) the maximum number of time and abandons further attempts - how can I reset this once the problem has

(in a former life we tested e-mail delivery like that until 50% of our traffic was probes and 90% of the outages were caused by them...) Using SCIF on the FTPSERVE userid, PROP can watch the console and notice the outage immediately. CMS gives you easy tools to arrange the restart of the server

Depending on how the FTP server fails, you might also see it in your performance monitor... Also true. OTOH, there are failure modes (such as the one Colin mentioned about getting unhappy with a minidisk) that won't show up in the console log or will show misleading symptoms (large buffer

David, I am afraid we are in lock down here (essential maintenance only) so no chance of installing a new LINUX server. However, I could use your idea from an existing hartbeat server between VM systems. World work, I'd think. That'd also catch the socket timeout delay problem if/when you

Some observations: - If your ESM is controlling links, the minidisk passwords are ignored. If it isn't, then you might try a password of ALL rather than ANY; there's nothing special about ANY. - Check your ESM (you don't specify what it is) docs for the proper DTCPARMS entries for ftpserve
