I've happily deployed iperf.  A wide variety of folks on campus are 
starting to use the service.  However, I occasionally find that iperf on 
the server quits on me.

I start the program with the following command:
/usr/local/bin/iperf -s -D >> /var/log/iperf.log

I used the slightly modified iperf 1.7.0 source which correctly logs the 
connections.

I can imagine iperf wedging for a number of reasons.  Is it worth an 
effort to discover the reasons why it quits or should I just write a 
script to restart it if it dies and log the restart time and date?

Thanks,
