HI, I ran into similar problems fortunately i had had some trouble with junkbuster ( one way of looking at it <grin>) and remembered seeing the following in the "/etc/init.d/junkbuster" startup script
"su nobody -c <command>" so i tried this "su myself -c <proggy to launch>" and found it complained about not knowing where the X display was so i set "DISPLAY=:0" ( in the script i set up for it ) and tried again and it worked fine. Im just wondering - wouldnt it be an idea to have the DISPLAY variable set when X is launched. ( And yes i know its possible to run multiple X servers but id assume those able to set that up would figure the rest out easily, me im just learning to crawl in linux >;0) ) Cheers Daniel Mashao wrote: > On 23 Mar 1999, John Hasler wrote: > > > Daniel Mashao writes: > > > Is there any way to send the output of pppd to a file so I can debug what > > > is happenning. > > > > Sure.
