If "portmanager" is run with the '-l' flag, it will produce a log in the
'/var/log' directory called 'portmanager.log'. You can inspect that file
to see what transpired.
Occasionally, I always run portmanger like this:
script ~/pm.log portmanager -u -l -p
That takes care of everything for me and I can backtrack to see where an
error occurred.
Good luck!
