Under etch I'm using start-stop-daemon to start the swatch log monitoring utility in an /etc/init.d script. This is working, but each instance of swatch (I'm starting multiple -- one instance per monitored log) creates a zombie process the first time it logs something. I'm using the '--chuid' option of start-stop-daemon so that I can run as a unprivileged user, and if I take that option away then I don't get the zombies.
In my swatch configuration I'm doing an 'exec' action, so maybe that's part of the problem. If the problem is the '--chuid' option, then is there another way I can get swatch running as a unprivileged user when the system boots? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
