It's the way my mc deamons are runnning ("accepts connection on port y
with
message x") and if i right undertand your explainations, mc is running
in "synchronious mode" while it parse the first part of the command
("accept connection on port y") and then in asynchronious mode as soon
as the second part of the command is lauched ("with message x"). If mc
is realy running this way, and because it's sure that the first part of
the command take probably not a tick to be run in my apps, mc is
probably able to support "as this" hundreds of connections peer seconds
! Great, always more and more... I think i will have to configure a test
app/box to definitivelly learn what limit of simultanious connections
the mc long running processes web apps are able to handle. Great, great,
great !

So will i do :-)

You know what i think, friend ? Our world is sick and the some ones who
are working in building great things in "Arts" and "Technology", in
"Education" or "Industry" are building a world for our childs. Against
that, there will always be stupids gays to try to destroy all the beauty
and the generosity of the best of us. It's so but, to the end, the
destroyers are always destroying them self and the life take-off again
and again. We have just to be there, listening to others, and
contributing to build our part of the XXI century. There are many great
subjects that help us to wake-up, each day, in thinking : Fun, i have
"this" and "this" to do to have a good day. Just remember the "blitz"
over London in 1940 : the british people have been courageous and to the
end, the "Nazis" have gone to trash, Hitler first. For sure that the
actual war will go to the same end. We have only to be courageous, as
long as it will be a necessity.
