Thank you Jarkko Laine

I did alot of searching around on blogs while trying to set up Typo with Lighttpd on Textdrive and came across alot of good advice. One great tutorial that I came across was Jarkko Laine’s Keeping your lighttpd up on TextDrive, part I and part II. I set everything up as he explained and then forgot about it until … textdrive crashed last night! Because of the cron job that I had setup to run on system boot, daedalus.rb came to life when the system was turned back on. This started up my lighttpd process, thus bringing my site back up online.
Thanks.

You're welcome, glad to be of help :-) There's a few caveats in my tutorials that I should update, tho. I used the run-off-the-mill time intervals for daedalus, which obviously are not really realistic in a shared environment. The problem is real and discussed further in a Textdrive forum "thread":http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=6786 (you might need to login to be able to see that post). Another thing is that the double paranoia (redundant daedaluses) is also discouraged at TxD, since Rails, lighttpd and the fcgi processes have become a lot more stable lately and double-daedalus uses a lot of memory constantly. BTW, nice masthead.
