Contrary to the expectation of some this is not a reboot issue.

I have done that... it works now. Thanks! I had no idea rdairplay created a lock file. I always thought it created a process file in /var/run/rivendell which locked it up... and so I had tried in the past to empty that directory. But thanks! On Wed, Dec 28, 2011 at 10:24 AM, Fred Gleason wrote:
