Seems to fit in with my thoughts, although (I'm playing devils advocate
here) the server hasn't been receiving any more traffic than usual!  Could
this be a cumulative thing?  Plus since it's a standard thing on RAQs I'm
surprised there hasn't been a fix done by Cobalt yet?

OK, this is where I profess to having a lack of Unix knowledge.  Could you
help me write a script for this?

BTW! Thanks for your help on this!
