Actually, I think I know what is happening. Sometimes my machine does not properly wake from resume, so I have to hard-reboot it; that leaves the pid and pub files. Similarly, any other unclean shutdown will probably do the same. > Yes.

Well, it will do it itself -- assuming it gets shut down properly. Nevertheless I believe having start call restart and restart call start is a really bad idea, especially as the loop spawns new processes all the time and eventually kills your entire machine if you don't stop it. I really cannot find any good reason why it should be that way. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
