Again, thx a lot for the time and suggestions! Will archive them all!
rvmutl shone a light on the cause of my problems: the partition on which the
data and log files reside was for some unexplained reason mounted ro.
I have allways found the output of mount command confusing, because it shows
the initial mount options, not the current (that's why I was convinced it was
mounted rw, untill I tried 'touch test' in the data/log directory, which
failed!).
remounted the disk and codaserver now happily starts and runs along nicely.
My sincere apologies for the mailinglist contamination with my rambling!
As a payback attempt, this is my server login script that makes use of Xdialog
and checks the existance of gcodacon before launching another. Makes desktop
integration nearly seemless...
#!/bin/sh
USER=[user]
SERVER=[server]
Xdialog --stdout --password --inputbox "Coda password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]" 0
0 \
| clog [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# show tokens received
Xdialog --msgbox "`ctokens @$SERVER`" 0 0
# find gcodacon's PID
PID=`ps -o pid,cmd -C python | grep gcodacon | awk '{print $1}'`
# if no PID found, start gcodacon
if [ "$PID" == "" ]; then
gcodacon &
fi

Martin
