thats what I thought it was, and it was
an end of line had crept into the middle of the line calling svscan in
inittab
I still have two lines:
root 1755 0.5 0.5 1088 324 ? S 02:05 0:00 supervise
supervise
root 4167 0.0 0.5 1088 324 ? R 02:05 0:00 supervise
supervise
why not one but hopefully thats fine
thanks
Neil
