Okay, here's a question...

Why is the AvaraTracker dumped every couple of days? What I mean is, when you log on, it will say some thing like "Started on 11/15" or whatever, and it changes.

Would a masochist prefer to live with the toothache or have his teeth drilled?

Jeez, you're a cold bunch. It's all right, I'm retreating to the EV webboards.

My guess would be the tracker program runs on a machine that also does other duties - and some of those may have a type of memory leak that is reduced when the machine is restarted.

Well, (url="http://"http://www.avara.com")www.avara.com(/url) and (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com")www.ambrosiasw.com(/url) both resolve to the same IP address, so the web tracker is (barring weird port-forwarding nonsense) running on Ambrosia's honkin' SGI box.

I doubt the machine itself is restarted often, but the Avara tracker application probably gets restarted on a regular basis by a cron job.

Why, I couldn't say.

Yep- gotta agree with Ian. Both tracker.avara.com and (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com")www.ambrosiasw.com(/url) resolve to the same IP#.
