This may sound silly, but did you try a '/etc/init.d/<foo>dm stop && /etc/init.d/<foo>dm start' or just a '/etc/init.d/<foo>dm restart'? I've found that the restart doesn't always work, but stopping, waiting for all the processes to die (or forcibly killing them), then starting has nearly always worked. -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ideas don't stay in some minds very long because they don't like solitary confinement. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
