Although how do I start and restart it? I tried kill -HUP but that seems to have half killed it since now I can't restart: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps -elf|grep rsyncd 0 R mkb 11929 11392 0 80 0 - 17433 - 13:48 pts/2 00:00:00 grep rsyncd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo tail /var/log/messages Oct 10 13:47:47 veri rsyncd[11922]: rsyncd version 2.6.9 starting, listening on port 873 Oct 10 13:47:47 veri rsyncd[11922]: bind() failed: Address already in use (address-family 10) Oct 10 13:47:47 veri rsyncd[11922]: bind() failed: Address already in use (address-family 2) Oct 10 13:47:47 veri rsyncd[11922]: unable to bind any inbound sockets on port 873 Oct 10 13:47:47 veri rsyncd[11922]: rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(477) [receiver=2.6.9] Oct 10 13:48:28 veri rsyncd[11926]: rsyncd version 2.6.9 starting, listening on port 873 Oct 10 13:48:28 veri rsyncd[11926]: bind() failed: Address already in use (address-family 10) Oct 10 13:48:28 veri rsyncd[11926]: bind() failed: Address already in use (address-family 2) Oct 10 13:48:28 veri rsyncd[11926]: unable to bind any inbound sockets on port 873 Oct 10 13:48:28 veri rsyncd[11926]: rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(477) [receiver=2.6.9] -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
