Re: Dbmail needs restart on Ldap connection lost/restart

Keeping a connection open to LDAP allows much higher throughput so 
opening a new connection when needed would degrade the service.

LDAP is one of those services that should always be available because it 
is a core authentication service so don't understand why yours is 
disconnecting.

Monitoring CAN fix this, nagios is used here at Persistent Objects but 
any good monitoring software will work by checking if the service is 
running and restart if not.  Completely automatic and transparent to 
users.  Rarely kicks in as dbmail is so reliable.

Not sure why you are getting annoyed at dbmail, I would be frustrated at 
LDAP as it is 100% reliable here.

Regards,
Alan
