That's odd. Is there actually an Xastir process running? If not, you can simply remove the file "/home/debian/.xastir/xastir.pid" then the error message will go away. If so, you can kill it. ps auxww | grep xastir then use "kill <process number>" for each xastir process you see. If there ARE no processes running, then the pid file is stale and you should just remove it. Did you shut down your BBB without exiting Xastir first? When Xastir exits cleanly it should remove that file itself. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
