Topic: lost settings in server-manager

[loek]

I have experienced a few times now that a few changes made to settings in server-manager had simply vanished a few days later. Recently this happened after a power failure the day after I changed some settings (adding a user account, a pseudonym and email forwarding settings), so I suspect that settings are only stored properly when the system shuts down.

If so, can I run or restart a certain service to make sure that all settings are safely kept also after a power failure or recovery from a crash?
This could then be done in a nightly cron job.

The server runs SME 5.5.

Thanks,
Loek

There's also one that causes the pseudonyms to disappear.
You need to upgrade to v5.6 to fix these
