Harlan,
If I recall correctly, I could never get this to work even on a local
machine with the Windows NT port because of some key authentication issue.
Whilst one can stop and restart services, it would be "nice" to have a
unified approach that worked cross-platform. But only "nice" - not
"essential".
Cheers,
David
