RMA Manager - Split in two..?

Hi,

Maybe I haven't found it yet, but it seems that RMA-MGR only can run as a program when a user logs in..?

This means, that when no user is logged in, and RMA-Agents have RMA-MGR active, they will try to connect every 2 seconds.. This creates a lot of sessions in firewalls, and also a lot of logs from firewall..

Would it be possible to split RMA-MGR into two.. Eg one part that only handles connections from agents and run as a service. And one part that acts as the program, and connects to the service..?
This would also have the benefit, that you could install the program on a another machine, and still have management.. Without the need to allow management on the agents from more than one IP..

An idea..?

Every 30 seconds. I do not think this is a big problem.

May be we implement such option but not now. Actually RCC works in such way with Active RMA. It connects to Active RMA thru HostMonitor
