Thats um...fixed. (btw xfstt-0.9.9-7 is currently installed...) The problm well...actually kin dof embarasing :) I got an e-mail about a week ago with an idea....to make xfstt's init.d script behave allot more like xfs...I thought "cool" The script he gave me (which I used) contained: portno=7100 I changed it a few releaces ago to 7101 as a default (to avoid conflict with xfs)...I didn't catch this...course...I was tired at the time :) now it apears to be working...except... when it "starts"..well... xfstt doesn't automatically daemonize... you have to invoke it with an & or somehow otherwise daemonize it...so start-stop-daemon never returns... so I put a & on the whole line. I would like to change that but...havn't yet. Should be a matter of adding a single command line option to daemonize and actually daemonizing is easy > BTW, I would recommend putting things with special chars (such as $) > inside (single!) quotes.

Well I didn't write that part...and it worked...so I didn't fix it however...I think he just copies from the xfs script because... it has the same line (just without the tt) > Anyway, I think the $ at the end of the word is a bit paranoid, and will > lead to confusion if someone accidentally puts a space at the end. hmm the xfs one doesn't have the $ ...ill fix it :) Thanx...grep patterns in general tend to confuse me a bit... its one of those things im still learning -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
