No, nothing was typed into the Services window. The Sniffer service was installed using the SrvAny W2K ResKit guidelines and the service starts automatically when the server is rebooted.

That's one way to do it - although the SrvAny documentation seemed to imply, that these startup parameters (if typed into the Control Panel window, would only apply to manual starts, not automatic starts. Of course, mine is Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit - yours may be different. And, I assume you have checked your sniffer folder to confirm a presence of the persistent.stat file with the very current time-stamp?

In the NEW Sniffer version I noticed that my log files were not rotating. Upon further investigation it became clear, that Sniffer was no longer running in persistent mode since the upgrade (thus ignoring the "rotate" command). The clue was a missing "*.persistent.stat" file. After some experimenting I determined that the problem was that (at least on MY machine) Sniffer now requires the explicit specification of a an application working directory. Here is my updated SrvAny configuration: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sniffer\Parameters] "Application"="D:\\IMAIL\\Sniffer\\Win32\\MyLicenseKey.exe" "AppParameters"="MyAuthorizationCode persistent" "AppDirectory"="D:\\IMAIL\\Sniffer\\Win32" Best Regards Andy Schmidt Phone: +1 201 934-3414 x20 (Business) Fax: +1 201 934-9206 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Schmidt Sent: Sunday, October 31, 2004 09:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [sniffer] LogRotate no longer working?
