It uses network interfaces to send heartbeats. I had up to 6 machines running once (different architectures IE: Sparc, VAX, and I386). But lately I have been only working with two and three machines (all I-386). In the early days it was multi platform (people who used linux was also using it--which was a surprise because I never thought it was that portable). These days I am focusing on FreeBSD only--again because of time--but mostly also because I am starting to use some system specific stuff as it becomes more elaborate. > >Danke, > Thanks for this, but I am an American working in Germany. ;-) I do fool a lot of people though because I have pick up an accent. PS. Do you know a place where I can put the 'tar' file so that people can get to it? My main website is down for about the next two weeks.
