Unfortunately this Linux server runs Continuus(Telelogic's CM/CS) and their
fix for us when too many application processes get running and thus lock out
'doze users is to restart xinetd(doesn't work) or reboot.  This happens at
least twice a week!  Granted this is dumb, but hey I just started here a
couple of months ago and so I have to live with what they tossed me.  BTW,
Telelogic hasn't been very helpful in this matter other than saying upgrade
your JRE - no effect - So, we don't have the problem in the new version
coming out in April that is supported under RH8!  I love it!  Makes me feel
like I'm running an NT server and dealing with M$.

Thanks,
