Good to know. I never used the bpclient command, so -mj did what I  
was expecting it to do, but I will make sure to mention this when I  
tell people about it :)

I do have a question, however: I wanted to try this out, but I don't  
seem to be able to get the syntax for bpclient right. I tried

        bpclient -update -M mymaster -client myclient -max_jobs 2

and when this failed with

        db_CLIENT() failed: no entity was found (227)bpclient: no entity was  
found (227)

I tried

        bpclient -All -M mymaster -L

and this fails with the simpler, but the same

        bpclient: no entity was found (227)

Can somebody who actually uses this command tell me what I am doing  
wrong?
