ServiceManager.py opens the ServiceManager.log file automatically for writing, you don't have to do anything. To view the log use a text editor or just issue the following on the command-line: less .AccessGrid/Logs/ServiceManager.log > What I have found though, is this...if I open a terminal window and than > run the > killall -9 AGServiceManager.py command and than in that same window run > the AGServiceManager.py command it seems to come up and run in the debug > mode or does it always tell you every little thing that is happening? > Anyway, I did get that to work, but it's alot of hoops to jump through. > The launcher I have set up to AGServiceManager.py in a terminal window > still just disappears as soon as it gets a signal from the display machine > and maybe the start menu Service Manager was never supposed to come up in > a terminal window? I appreciate the help. Thanks You are confirming that AGServiceManager.py works from a login shell, but exists prematurely from a desktop launcher which specifies a terminal window. (it's due to a bug with FC2's Gnome terminal interpreting the signal from the exit_group(0) command being an actual exit) A workaround for the launcher is to start AGServiceManager.py from a shell and not execute it directly, e.g. specify the following command in the launcher instead of just "AGServiceManager.py -d" : /bin/sh -c "AGServiceManager.py -d; sleep 2" This is what I had to do with the Access Grid Gnome menu entries that bring up a terminal. The only python applications in the Access Grid Gnome menu that come up with a terminal are the Debug versions, so you are correct in saying that the Service Manager was never supposed to come up in a terminal window (except for the debug version). Anyway, I start AGServiceManager.py when I login to the Gnome desktop by adding it to the startup programs list, e.g..: Start Menu -> "Preferences" -> "Sessions" -> "Startup Programs" tab then add, /usr/bin/AGServiceManager.py Cheers, Doug
