I think that means that there's already a copy running. Try "ps ax", pstree, or "pidof xfstt" to find out for sure. If you use "/etc/init.d/xfstt start" to start xfstt you won't get those messages because it uses start-stop-daemon(8) which won't start a daemon which is already running. your pal dave -- Dave Thayer Denver, Colorado USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
