  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>    Because of this functionality, I choose not to restart services
  35 </I>&gt;<i>using cron for fear of losing a .db file or 2.  While it's possible to
  36 </I>&gt;<i>write a more elaborate cron script which would check for these .save files
  37 </I>&gt;<i>and copy them into place in the aforementioned event before restarting
  38 </I>&gt;<i>services, does version 5.0.* have a better way around this at all ?
  39 </I>
  40      Services 5.0 writes new data to a temporary file, which is then
  41 renamed over the original file when writing completes successfully;
  42 barring a power failure or OS bug, there should be no way for the *.db
  43 files to become corrupted.
