On unixes it's quite common, that if some daemon started from init rc scripts fails, it's possible to re/start it paintless by hand again ... ( but not on Gentoo ? ) Let's try this: #pkill -9 some_daemon #/etc/init.d/some_daemon start (or restart) You'll get stupid message "running already" and the command fails with no action ... :o) so probably stop is needed before ;-) #/etc/init.d/some_daemon stop You'll get message "not running", but if you try start it again, stupid message comes again ! :-( It's getting me really very nervous ... :-( PS. When I switched from RH to Gentoo, the first thing I was worry about were rc init scripts, because I can only hardly to imagine something better then system 5 ones... let's try to convince me I am wrong :-) Noro -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
