Ah yes, my apologies - I must have misread the patch. Although yes, it would be painful to see what happens when/if /dev3 occurs... but why would such a thing be neccessary (an initrd for an initrd for the kernel/modules? I think not.) -- I'm thinking it shouldn't have to happen. > > I dunno about the other guy, but I'm thinking about a command line > > option; so something like --pidfile <file> would cause the program to > > That would work fine for our needs.

I think the only way to find out is to create a bug report, attach a patch against CVS, and adjust it while necessary until someone commits it to CVS or you are said that it will never be committed (unlikely, I hope). -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable.
