New infos....

I´ve not forget to restart the IC Server. I´m sure, the setting of my
catalog.cfg and interchange.cfg is right. I´m still in a muddle, why
can I see more than one IC Server running (via top), if I´ve

Variable   TRAFFIC    low
#ifdef TRAFFIC =~ /low/i
Message Low traffic settings.

I use vlink always.

But, I´m in a muddle. I´ve tested the IC Server with

Variable   TRAFFIC    low
#Variable   TRAFFIC    high
 
#ifdef TRAFFIC =~ /low/i
Message Low traffic settings.
HouseKeeping 3
MaxServers   0
PIDcheck     0
#endif

and I see more than one IC server.
