I once had an NT cron job that would invoke Dr Watson late at night when ever a certain piece of network hardware was not accessible. The Dr Watson would hang until someone logged in and clicked the Ok button. During the interum, since my application instance was still loaded in memory, a new instance could not be run at any subsequently scheduled time. It seems to me that this behaviour could be classified as a DOS attack if someone knew how to force a Dr Watson for a given process. I don't recall what version of Dr Watson but I do know that it occured with both NT 3.51 and NT 4.0 sp3. -- Steve Coleman <Steve.Colemanat_private> http://www.jhuapl.edu/ <<--------->> Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory <<---------->> Balt:443-778-6330 Fax:443-778-5597 Wash:240-228-6330 Fax:240-228-5597
