That fixed subsequent starts because I was running start with it already started. I'm not sure what the deal is with the initial run failing though (that is nothing with ps aux). I'll have to try that when I upgrade to a new machine in the next week or two, to see if I can reproduce it and figure out what the problem is. Just to clarify I think there are two separate problems 1) Initial run failing to start for some reason (I have to reinstall to see it again I think) 2) /etc/init.d/gkrellmd start failing as a result of gkrellmd already being started.

So, does calling init > script with "restart" works while with "start" not? Yes. I'm attaching the result of set -x at top of script and running script gkrellm-script and /etc/init.d/gkrellmd start (and restart) Just do script gkrellmd-script assuming you save the file as gkrellmd-script Regards, Daniel -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.
