Ok, ok, I know a few of you are probably ready to tear into me over bringing this up (again). I'm not going to ask which one you prefer, or why, I think we are all on the same page regarding the benefits of runmqlsr over amqcrsta. But just because you get it, and just because I get it, doesn't mean a certain client's unix admins get it.

I've given the little speech, pleaded to their better sense of judgment, but, as their eyes started to glaze over I could tell I was loosing the fight. It really comes down to this: "If we don't change the way we are doing things with inetd, will we still be supported?"

So, I ask you, because I can't find any reference to it not being supported, though v6 doesn't even mention using it, will these guys be supported if they insist on living in the dark ages?

Oh, and for those of you who are concerned about the mq admin who will have to live with this mess ... don't bother, I'm outta here tomorrow.

I guess it comes down to - it shouldn't matter to the unix admins.

In one case they make changes to etc/inetd.conf or whatever.

In the other case they make changes to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or whatever.

I agree, however, they say what goes, and I am just trying to make a case for moving forward.

Well, the other tact to take is "if you use runmqlsr, then MQ is entirely not your problem. If you use inetd, we're going to hassle you if the channels break".

Sure. I'd use the second if I were in a meeting with the admins and other managers.

But if I were standing around in their work area, having a real conversation about how things were actually going to be done... I'd put it to them the way they see it, so that they can relate.

A search of the v6 Info Center for inetd produces lots of hits (namely "Using the TCP/IP Listener" in the Intercommunications guide)... so while the standard answer you're going to get here - as you've seen - is"use runmqlsr", the documentation certainly leads me to believe that the use of inetd, while certainly not recommended, will be supported for the life of v6.

That said, I'd second all other comments above regarding reasons to move to runmqlsr!

Cheers
Steve
