[Opensim-users] Scripts sometimes do not load on start up?

[Chris]

Whoops... Hit the send button a bit too early :)

In addition to the testing done in the previous post, I found that it 
seems like the only option that seems to more consistently let all 
regions load their scripts is to set DeleteScriptsOnStartup back to 
true; in this case both my systems load all scripts on their regions on 
both databases... But it significantly slows down startup due to having 
to compile all the scripts which is the reason I usually set it to false.
