Are your processes forking away from init? If so, init will assume that cf-execd has died, and respawn it. Eventually, init will decide that your process has died too much, and disable it until a timer runs out. You probably want cf-execd -F or something similar, and you can verify this by checking /var/log/syslog (or whatever is appropriate in your case.) -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Il semble que la perfection soit atteinte non quand il n'y a plus rien a ajouter, mais quand il n'y a plus rien a retrancher.
