I started using the unattented project earlier this week. GREAT WORK. I have found a few glitches and had some ideas that I am documenting, but to follow up on qchain. I have been using qchain since May 2001 (Some updates weren't compatible, that changed in December 2002). It works well (shocking isn't it) and should save on reboots.
Keep up the good work. I was just bragging to a friend about this project (and many others). He uses MS Windows only, and is so proud of all the cool admin applications he gets (and pays for). Well I went on to compare an administrator to a chef (which I have heard before). A good chef can take a couple good knives (perl!) and do whatever he wants. Unlike the guy who buys tons of knives and every gimic cooking tool on TV. Just my 2cents. -- Sean Roberts ----- Original Message ----- From: Nils �stbjerg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2003 18:24:19 +0200 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Unattended] Hotfixes without reboot, and MS docs > Hi, > > I came across an article in the MS knowledge base the other day.
