You can't talk to initng while it's not running. In the case of a failure initng replaces itself with initng-segfault. When you quit the shell, initng-segfault execs initng again, so all the status info is lost.

Can you point me at docs? Fedora doesn't give much. There are some important bugfixes in the latest version of initng-ifiles, so if you still have problems, just upgrade initng and initng-ifiles to the latest versions before trying anything else. -- _______________________________________________ Initng mailing list [email protected] http://jw.dyndns.org/mailman/listinfo/initng
