  34 <PRE>I don't think everyone is understanding the situation presented here. Say you have Services running on server A. Services links to server B, not an ircd on the same box (A). Server B crashes. Now Services are no where because the .conf file only has one server (B) to link to. This is correctable if a person with access to server A is around to edit the .conf file, but the situation is that, that person is not around. So the asked for solution is to have multiple S:lines in the .conf file that Services would attempt to link to in the event the primary is down. Setting up a crontab to restart the ircd on server B is moot because server B is dead. This is what I gathered from Angel's emails. Correct me if I'm wrong.
