  34 <PRE>   When services DBs are updated in older versions of IRCServices (ie
  35 4.5.*), *.db.save files are created, which are then copied back to the
  36 normal .db file name.  I've had several occasions when services (4.5.43)
  37 would die during this DB file update, and I'd be left with a nick.db.save
  38 file, but no nick.db.  If I then restart services, no nick.db would be
  39 found (obviously), and a new one would be started from scratch...not a
  40 desired effect.
  41         Because of this functionality, I choose not to restart services
  42 using cron for fear of losing a .db file or 2.  While it's possible to
  43 write a more elaborate cron script which would check for these .save files
  44 and copy them into place in the aforementioned event before restarting
  45 services, does version 5.0.* have a better way around this at all ?
  46         Planning to migrate to 5.0.2...they're looking great.
