I use upstart since a while and haven't had any problem with it, *yet*. I was able to finish the removal of the package by running apt-get --purge remove twoftpd-run again (since one of the directories it checks for is removed on the first removal attempt it can't find it on the second run and quit gracefully). Other than that, no, I don't have any idea why it didn't come into effect. > Regards, Gerrit. Kind regards, -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
