Hey Chris, I actually think that's what's happening, which is fine in my case (for now anyway) as I just need them all to complete, we don't need them running at the same time. I'm using a job management system, and they have the option of triggering a command line after completing a job. A better/safer solution might be spawning another job and re-inserting to the jms queue. Thanks again, Zach -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
