Roberto, Thank you for the clue about "/etc/init.d/owserver status" sometimes being unreliable. I suspect "sudo service owserver status" might have the same issues?
I was double-checking those results with: ps -ef |grep 'owfs' root 1151 1 0 Oct19 ? 00:01:23 /usr/bin/owftpd -c /etc/owfs.conf --pid-file /var/run/owfs/owftpd.pid root 13064 1 0 14:44 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/owhttpd -c /etc/owfs.conf --pid-file /var/run/owfs/owhttpd.pid root 13605 1 0 15:27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/owserver -c /etc/owfs.conf --pid-file /var/run/owfs/owserver.pid (That's after I successfully restarted both processes.) Mine always matched. It looked like owhttpd stopped serving pages a few minutes after owserver died, and would not work until owserver was running again. I guess your netstat check has the advantage of proving the server is actually listening on the network, rather than just running. Loren | Loren Amelang | lo...@pacific.net | > 1.

In such cases killing by proc > number or "killall owserver" solved the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Owfs-developers mailing list Owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers
