Interesting, I had not heard of the "managedservices" option and 
thought it was only a netware thing. Surprise, it's on all client versions and 
looks like it's been around since V 4.2. Once again I learn something new from 
the listserv....

        I have a few hosts with very large filesystems where the schedule 
daemon is not releasing memory. I think I may try this option out.

        Just as a question to the group: Is there a reason you would not want 
to use this on all the clients? (just have it restart the scheduler at the time 
of the backup)

Thanks,
Ben

I second Jim's advice.  Especially on our servers with large number of files, 
using the managedservices option saves TONS of memory.  We had one server that 
after a few weeks, DSMC.NLM was using nearly 3/4 of a gig of RAM.  Using 
managedservices and dsmcad.nlm solved the problem.

Do it!

Run managedservices webclient schedule. I'd advise upgrading to the 5.1.5.6
client to avoid an potential problem with the client trying to grap an
invalid port, I believe it was an nwipcport error.

Other than that it's been good, helped with the memory release issue a lot.
