A good first debugging step is to run the script via 'bash -x': sudo bash -x /etc/init.d/nfs-common start ... which will show steps being executed, as well as the error(s). You might also try 'bash -ex <script>' to force an exit on the first error (though the init script may override this). -- Dr. Ed Morbius Chief Scientist Krell Power Systems Unlimited -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
