This is an interesting idea, but have you actually used it in practice? I can make it work on the command-line, with: /usr/bin/sudo /etc/init.d/assp start But putting that same command in AutoRestartCmd results in the ASSP shutting down but never starting back up. I never see a sudo instance logged in /var/log/auth.log for the restart from the ASSP web gui, whereas I do when I trigger the start command from the command line. In the gui, I see: "The following command will be started in OS-shell, if ASSP runs not as a service or daemon", which implies perhaps my command is not even being run. -- Mark Edwards Audiovisual Coordinator & IT Assistant Contemporary Jewish Museum 736 Mission Street San Francisco, CA 94103 direct line: 415.655.7802 fax: 415.655.7815 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
