  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>Well, if you suggest such an unnecessary addition, you may also tell me,
  35 </I>&gt;<i>why you are not able to add a cronjob, which every 5 minutes tries to
  36 </I>&gt;<i>start
  37 </I>&gt;<i>services.
  38 </I>&gt;<i>
  39 </I>&gt;<i>Because, that will result in the same event.

  41      No, I can see where a feature like this could potentially be useful:
  42 if the machine running Services gets split from the rest of the network,
  43 it's gone no matter how many cron jobs you have, so I can see the benefit
  44 of having a second copy of Services on a different machine that kicks in
  45 if the original fails.
  46
  47      On the other hand, you have data synchronization to worry about,
  48 which is non-trivial when you consider the amount of bandwidth that would
  49 be taken up by sending every database change to each backup copy of
  50 Services; and the Internet is generally stable enough that I think backup
  51 Services can be managed by hand just as easily, so this is not something
  52 I'm planning for 5.0.  I may consider it for a later version, but it's
  53 low on my priority list.
