Re: [Summary-Talk] Summary crashes

[Jason Linhart <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, if Summary is crashing we would like to hear about it. There
aren't any known crashing bugs in the most recent version. If Summary is
crashing for you we would like to hear all about it so we can fix the
problem.

Second, you can launch Summary as frequently as you want, if it is
already running it will notice that and do nothing. There is a
description in the manual on how to setup cron to do this for you,
<http://summary.net/manual/faq.html#startup>. Thus there is no real
reason to need to know if it is working or not, just launch it again and
the correct thing will happen.

Third, on Mac OS X if you install the newer versions of Summary to
launch on startup, <http://summary.net/manual/howto.html#startup>, it
will monitor it's self automatically for you, restarting if something
goes wrong.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
