I've often said that rebooting a *nix machine is usually a bad idea. In this case, it sounds like it was actually a good idea, as it tells you that you "solved" nothing. It's still broken, and always was. > not only that but the buttons in rdlogedit were all greyed out on clientb > and I couldn't access the main log in Rivendell airplay which had been set up > 0n the main server clientb could not see the log, > the best way forward now is to try and troubleshoot the problems first > and then come up with a permanent solution to keep all these problems at bay, The best way forward, is a *systematic* approach.

I suspect not !! The last couple merely built on something else that had come before. *Systematic* troubleshooting. mount What does that tell you ? Have the directories been mounted ? If not, can you manually mount them from the command line ? If so, then your start-up scripts need looked at. If not, then you need to find out why, but do not randomly try hap-hazard things. That will only cloud the issues. If not, is the server refusing, or is the client not making the proper request ? Is it syntax, or making the request in the wrong order ? Step by step, one thing at a time. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Old age is the most unexpected of things that can happen to a man. -- Trotsky _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
