2008-02-01 Thread matek994
Hi, suddenly my slimserver doesn't start anymore on booting up my nslu. I cannot remember that I've changed anything, and it always used to work. I tried to start the server manually using the following command: sudo -u slimserv /usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl --cachedir /var/cache/slimserve
