Hey Jeremy,

I'm running 

AccessGrid-QuickBridge-3.0.2-1
AccessGrid-3.1-2.fc7

on Fedora 7 and (as I mentioned in the last thread), I do cron restart
my bridge process on a nightly basis; however my experience is I didn't
need to do this.  My bridge process would usually be fine for weeks;
however, I felt more comfortable restarting nightly than waiting for it
to fail before restarting.

Restarting 3 times this morning seems a little odd.  What version/OS are
you running?  What is the log showing?  What is it doing when it fails?

Perhaps I can help debug.

Todd
