I also prefer to restart the daemons instead of doing a reload. And for sure i will do restart the daemons after i used reload. But when i experiment around (with retention timings and update pool/media in my case), reload is just faster. And i did it while there was _no_ other activity. Nonetheless it stopped working after 10 reloads. (mk) -- Matthias Kurz; Fuldastr. 3; D-28199 Bremen; VOICE +49 421 53 600 47 >> Im prämotorischen Cortex kann jeder ein Held sein.
