RE: 9i OEM agent fails to start on windows

The only real problem we have regularly is that sometimes, the console doesn't start right away on Win32. I have to kill the jrew.exe or javaw.exe processes on my workstation first. Then re-start and the console starts.

I blame latency -- both of the virtual memory manager on Windows, the anti-virus software which likes to scan all the java libraries every time they are accessed, and perhaps the client "waking up" the OMS at the other end if it hasn't been used for a long time.

It seems to me virus detection software should be smart enough to know whether a file has changed or not since the last time it scanned it. Why scan the same java libraries every time a java program is started when these libraries haven't changed since they were scanned minutes before? Makes no sense to me.

If you ever have a process on win32 that you can't do an End Task on, go to www.sysinternals.com and download the pskill command, that works. It's the brute force method though, what I call "using the hatchet to fix Windows problems."
