Right, I DO want to use it. I just didn't want to have to create multiple instances of supervise for each one.. I guess I was hoping supervise could observe one "run" that contained multiple TCPSERVER and if any of them died, it would restart all of them.. > > supervise can only supervise one exec. if you want to supervise two > different execs, you'll need two supervises (two run scripts) > > instead of the mess you are getting up there, you could write a regular > startup script (which then would enable you to shut down both > processes) > > now, what is it, that is so hard about running two supervised instances > of tcpserver? You're right. Two is not hard. I would actually have 5 just to start with and additional ones for every VISP we host. What might make more sense is maybe a number of servers set up to bind with "all" ip's and run qmail-scanner, then another cluster of servers that doesn't run qmail-scanner. Then point the MX to one cluster (round-robin) or the other. Scan or no-scan... Thanks again for the help. Your time and thoughts are appreciated.
