Consider how cronjobs interact with this. I recall hearing a history of a bug in CKI about it, but I don't know exactly what happened and why, so just think about it |

If a cronjob runs frequently enough to keep the connection open, that could be a problem. However, as far as I know, we don't have any running that frequently, so it shouldn't be an issue. |
