Obviously. ;-) No, seriously, you've just broken those scripts where you've deleted "killproc". Killproc is a function defined in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions and sourced by each of the scripts in that same directory. I can only assume that you've somehow managed to delete the functions file, which is breaking the rest of your scripts. If you need to replace that file, email me off-list and I'll send you a copy from my RH9 laptop. But you'll need to go back and undo those deletions you made. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
