Don't let go! It's not unreasonable to expect to manage cfengine processes like other processes, whatever the OS (as opposed to using rc.local, for example). I think it would be great if cfservd and cfenvd 'played nice' and put pid's in /var/run, on approriate OS's, if that's not a posixly kind of thing to do everywhere. Init scripts sometimes get around the lack of a pid by calling 'pidof'. Shouldn't need to write your own init script though. Just ask, either Google, or here. -Ed _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
