I have absolutly no experiance with this program, however if a program restarts itself then 2 things come to mind, it is told to do so in /etc/inittab with a respawn command or via crontab, altho, i doubt it would be crontab. I have "yet" to see a program that starts itself. > > thanks, -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
