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
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.
