[AG-TECH] Bridge service reliability?

[Michael Miller]

NCSA uses the AG3.1 release on Fedora 8. (Thanks Doug!).  We monitor it by my trying to connect when I think to do it,  I'm trying to be more consistent, but you know how it goes.  I've long suspected the problem arises when the logs roll over, but I can't confirm that.  We restart it as needed and it can be days or weeks between.

Hope this helps

Well the questions which I have yet to receive a response are:

1. What Bridge code does NCSA and Argonne use?
2. Is it the same code base as AG3.1 or a custom version?
3. Do they also have to restart their Bridge servers on a daily/weekly
basis? If not, why? If yes, how often do they restart it?
