- One thing you might want to watch out for. Using only the IDLE_TIMEOUT option
- means that a really active TASK_SERVER won't time out and exit and allow for
- a new TASK_SERVER.LOG file. You might want to consider using the LIFETIME
- option which specifies a delta time after which the TASK_SERVER process will
- exit and be restarted even if it never reaches IDLE_TIMEOUT. For example,
-
- LIFETIME = 0 06:00:00
-
- in the PMDF_PROCESS_SMB.OPT will create a fresh TASK_SERVER process and new
- log file every 6 hours. The exit is done cleanly, between processing jobs.
- Unfortunately this didn't make it into the printed manuals, but is in the
- on-line BookReader docs.

- ps. The default if you don't specify is 24 hours I believe.
