Yes, it did, THANK YOU Ulf.
FWIW, I have not seen the error in the logs either. Who is supposed to own these files? And what perms are expected. Frankly, someones paranoia has made it impossible for anything I install to make and write to a log file in /var/log/ and I had to jump thru all sorts of perms loops to let even some of the stuff from the initial install actually keep logs. Its been such a pita that for stuff thats mine, I've moved the logs, and logrotates recipe's, to a log subdir in my home directory. Solves all them critters in one swell foop. I would do that to gkrellm if it was a .conf option. Everything I moved shows it belongs to root:root, but has enough perms, ahh, I see whatever starts and stops it is writeing to daemon.log. But not finding the weather plugin is never mentioned there. I don't believe anything that turn up in a grep -R query actually came from gkrellm. But now its working, and I thank you very much. > Best regards > Ulf Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
