<DIV>Thanks folks!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I spent half a day writing a server wrapper for bsdb config and quit, as</DIV>
<DIV>I needed a better understanding of twisted.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then I spend half a day fooling around with this, starting with finger,</DIV>
<DIV>making and fixing a whole series of dumb-bunny mistakes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now that I have a minimal working server, its a snap to build it up,</DIV>
<DIV>XP style.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One thing that I've got to puzzle out is failed startup is a server family.</DIV>
<DIV>What's the best way to cleanup when some server children succeed</DIV>
<DIV>and then one fails? (Case in point, some databases open, but then</DIV>
<DIV>one fails to open, possibly due to a configuration error.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just throw in the towel and do a restore next time round? Raise an</DIV>
<DIV>exception (I think this is wrong)? Call reactor.stop() and cleanup </DIV>
<DIV>during shutdown?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
