Thanks for the reminder. On my systems, I've added '-p $pidfile' to all my scripts for all the *proc commands where the daemon generates a pid file. pidofproc still does some stupid things that need fixing, but in general I feel a lot safer saying "kill this particular pid" instead of "killall somename". I need to start pushing some of these into our scripts. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
