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