Lots of points, I'll try to address them all but I'm sure I'll miss some so don't worry about more messages.
But first some questions: Q. Are you logged in as root or as a specific user id when running slimserver with the problem Q. What is the owner (user & group) and permissions (owner, group and world) of /usr /usr/local at startup, before and after you make the "wrx" permissions change. Next time - try changing to "r", then "rw" then "rwx" - which ones work ? I think some of the problem relates to user id and permissions so details & specifics are v. important. When slimserver starts - it loads modules on the search path. The "x" of the permissions enables directory searching. Regarding your question about running slimserver and not returning to user. If the "--daemon" command line option is NOT used, Slimserver will runs as an ordinary process and stay attached to the shell. All log/debug message as well as being sent to log file are also sent to STDERR which is the terminal. If you use "--daemon" on the command line, then log output will only appear in the log file. When slimserver starts - it tries to open with write access two files - the preferences and log files. If the existing log & pref files owner or permissions are not "right" - slimserver startup will be affected. What are the user id and permission of the preference and log file at startup before running Slimserver. What are their owner & permissions after a successful start of slimserver ? When starting slimserver during these test, to get better info about startup progress, use --d_start, --d_server and --d_plugins -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36596 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
