when i run the installGemstone2.4-MacOSX.sh script install gemstone, it runs fine, and i can start everything up as expected.. the only thing i notices is that it installs everything into: /opt/gemstone/<more path here>.. if you follow this down further, it links back the directory where the installation was performed.. my only concern is.. when i move this to a production environment, i will be running several gemstones; one for each application. how will i set this up in the production environment? thanks! -- ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary http://www.ThoseOptimizeGuys.com http://www.CodingForHire.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101
