It works for you because you are interactive. A maintainer script is not. If you run ps ax|grep daemon|grep -v grep and you see: 12661 pts/0 S 0:00 vi /etc/daemon.conf You notice what's going on and correct it. Non-interactive scripts need to be more precise, and work for all cases. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
