RE: {bb} Windows 2003

["Mibus, Chris J." <Chris.Mibus@c-b.com>]

That would explain why I usually only see Unix comments being posted
here.  The web site wasn't clear about the mailing lists.  For some
reason I read it as a mailing list for product information/releases and
this one as the general mailing list for any/all BB
questions/discussions.

Unfortunately we have BB monitoring about 40 internal file/app servers
and easily another 90 internal devices like switches/WAPs/printers for
connectivity.  We aren't monitoring too much about the servers just disk
space, connection, event logs, processor, etc.  My boss loves the
program, but is starting to get frustrated with it's unreliability.
Just about every day I have to start the service back up and we never
know unless we manually check whether the service has started.

I just subscribed to the bbntd list so I'll not take up any more of you
Unix guy's time with this, and I'll ask the question over there. 

Thanks,
Chris
