Stinking software I guess. This is along the lines of what I was thinking. I just don't see how it could have happened tho. I have a UPS on my rig and I'd never shutdown if there was a emerge process running. Then again, maybe something else broke and stopped the emerge process somehow. I also need to fix google too. It didn't find anything when I searched which also made me curious about what the heck this is. Going to go see if I can track this turkey down. Thanks much. At least your google search worked. lol Dale :-) :-)
