Strange File - FlushServ.exe

I recently ran into a strange file (and service) running on my Windows 2003 server called FlushServ.exe. An Internet search didn't show any useful hits or details on the file, but I quickl figured it out.

In my case c:\windows\system32\flushserv.exe was installed by the LSI Logic Power Console Plus v.5.00 utility. This is the RAID console software for my LSI Logic MegaRaid SATA 150-4, and the process (service) is designed to flush the RAID cache on shutdown (or presumably when called through an API). Mystery solved, it's not a hostile file.
