daemontools is an extremely weird piece of software. I stopped using it years ago when I finally got fed up with its unpredictable behavior. Even with djb's own tools like qmail, svc -t/-d would frequently not work correctly (this was on FreeBSD). Anyway, my recommendation is to only run tmda-ofmipd under daemontools if absolutely necessary. On my Debian system, a simple 30-line shell script in /etc/init.d/ with start/stop/restart cases manages tmda-ofmipd flawlessly, plus it's much easier to understand and debug. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
