[Wrapper-user] Re: Windows 2003 support and restart issue

>Strange. Where those two times on the same system? Or different ones?
It has occurred on two different systems, both running Windows 2003 and
having varying amounts of windows updates completed.

It does not appear that jvm related files are remove, only those files
related to the java service wrapper and listed in the wrapper.conf file in
the classpath.  In my case, this was our .jar files for both services that
had this issue occur, and the associated library files.

>Was the wrapper.log file still there?
There is no wrapper.log file present (the wrapper.exe, .dll and .jar are al=
l
removed - but the services do remain in the windows services list) - where
would the wrapper.log be located, and would it only be created if particula=
r
log settings were in place in the wrapper.conf's?

The system does not shutdown on its own, we merely performed a reboot after
an install and have now seen this occur 3 times (all the more reason perhap=
s
to move to our UNIX solution exclusively)

I checked the file system type this morning and it is indeed NTFS, and our
problems don't seem to be related to the jvm files, but i won't rule
anything out at the moment.

Very true.

I appreciate the quick response and the help though. Thanks Leif
