[AG-TECH] Running VenueServer 24/7

[Derek Piper]

	I know what you mean :> .. Seems the documentation finally 'leaks' out :>
	I realized I had a service certificate for the vic and rat stuff but 
also had an older 'identity' certificate that I guess the venueserver 
was picking up. Removing the identity certificate has meant it ran okay 
over night. Thanks everyone for your help. Good to know about the 
profile thing too.
