sure.
I thought *d referred to a daemon, and I don't think gkrellm acts as a daemon. Check man gkrellm and there is no mention of it running in daemon mode, or of the file you refer to in /etc/rc.d. I don't have that file in /etc/rc.d/*
No mention of a daemon in man or -help but maybe this /etc/rc.d/init.d/gkrellmd isn't really a daemon.
you see when you go searching for this file it comed up/etc/rc0.d and I click on it, and it opens
/etc/rc.d/init.d, so where the /rc.d bit comes from I know not. A bit odd .
Are you using KDE?yes,
How are you starting gkrellm?On the command line in a terminal,
How are you exiting?rightmouse click the header bar to quit, or something like that.
ToddHowever I get this message regardless of whether I have been using gkrellm, so I don't have to of had it up and running. Indeed upon first sight, I thought that's strange didn't use the thing, so it sort of suggested that maybe some other programme has been running it in the background maybe ? Just a thought.
I wonder what would happen if you moved that file out of /etc/rc.d and logged out and back in? I also wonder if a) this is something KDE did for you and b) does it have anything to do with being run as root?
Sorry, just thinking out loud.
Todd
gkrellmd from /etc/rc.d/init.d/gkrellmd
and shut down and rebooted a few times without incident. Not a definative test because it always was about 50% of the time but looks promising.What would running as root have to do with it ?
