I have systems that have been running for months that have endured repeated ungraceful endings to my multi-daemon application. I have a script to kill all the remaining daemons. I prefer to have a manual cleanup so I can analyse the "crime scene". There's one nagging problem I can use some help with. When I run in foreground and get a segmentation fault, there is a nice message alerting me to this event. When my daemons hit a seg. fault there's no indication in /var/log/messages. Any hints on how to find clues that a daemon did a seg. fault would be most appreciated. -- Mike Mueller www.ss7box.com _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
