That's good to know! zap, eh? Must be a feature of start-stop-daemon, since "zap" does not appear as an option in the /etc/init.d/slimserver script. It must kill the process, if it exists, and delete the /var/run/slimserver/slimserver.pid file. If SS dies unexpectedly, the /var/run/slimserver/slimserver.pid file will still be around. Then when you do a /etc/init.d/slimserver start, it sees the pid file and thinks slimserver is already running. That's why you have to manually delete this file after an unexpected SS crash, or you'll get the "already running" error when you try to start SS via "/etc/init.d/slimserver start". -- Ron Olsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Olsen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9233 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32451 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
