Hey all!

I have an issue that I thought I would present to the group here.  When
I startup ntop (I use an rc script) with -d, I get no data.  When I
start with & I get data.  Here's what I mean:

sudo ntop -u jlay -w 3010 -d -P /usr/local/var/ntop

gives me no data, whereas

sudo ntop -u jlay -w 3010 -P /usr/local/var/ntop &

gives me data.  Any place I can look to try and find out why this is?

Here's some sample output with the -d option:

After checking no stats are given anywhere...Global Traffic Stats are
completely blank.  If started without -d and adding & at the end of my
line, I get stats.

DISCLAIMER:  I am NOT looking for help...I have a work around and it
works just fine.  I'm simply trying to see if I can assist with making
a great app even greater by bringing things others may see.
