Hi Huafeng, Are you sure that the daemon is still running? I assume that you are starting the background daemon using some form of fork/exec. In this case the daemon should be part of the service's conctact, and startd would be aware that it is running. Another other possibility is that you may have set the startd/duration property in your manifest, so that the service model is not the contract model. The contract model is the default. tom
