Is that common sense? --Amanda _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

At least in Darwin, if you use supported KPIs, it's *possible*. It sounds like you've fallen into a common error--thinking "I did X under Linux or FreeBSD, so I'll just tweak it a little bit for Mac OS X", and then discovering that it's not that simple. This is not a bug, though. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
