Yes. I must restart weekly, or it dies. I'd say about right at 10 days, but I'd have to look over my old PageSentry logs to see for sure. If I do restart it weekely, it's 100% solid. I'm not sure if the crash is due to time, or load (eg... after XXXX requests OT leaks RAM, and kills the machine..) 733 G4, 128MB RAM, latest and greatest Classic MacOS, 500+GB external SCSI160 RAID 5. The internal ATA HD is disconnected, and it's booting and running entirely off the SCSI RAID 5 array. SIMS 1.8 b8 is the only app on there. File sharing on the box is turned on, as we use the extra disk space for some light file archiving/file sharing. (2-3 clients, very light use). I still think that SIMS is rock solid, I'd lean more towards an OT issue. I've started looking at memory use by the system, free RAM, and RAM use by SIMS every day, and have found no patterns. It's slightly annoying, but I don't have time to move to Communigate Pro right now, so I have to live with it. -Jerry ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
