The server could be gathering stats (snmp style) in a "stats" daemon (which is, like qmgr, long running). Upon stop it would write statistics to a database file (or into a real database) and would reload the counters from the upon restart. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebra...@charite.de | http://www.charite.de
