I agree. If the system is constructed correctly it certainly does not
need that sort of attention. There is software available that can
monitor the system to a high degree of satisfaction. However, Noel, I
firmly believe that there are OPs (SAs ?) that greatly exaggerate the
degree of difficulty of their job. I guess we all like to feel we are
indispensable.
I might add that I am a strong believer in virtual users. It is easier,
cleaner and removes potential security problems.
Just my 2¢.
