Hmm, I'll have to try that out - I can't quite visualize what it's supposed to do.
In an rc script, it is indeed mysterious. But I guess startproc can be used anywhere you want to start something. In other contexts it may be useful not to have the program drop into the background. As to the daemon in question (vblade), I see that I can stop and restart it, and the remote system seems still to run. vblade makes the root file system image available over Ethernet. I am guessing that if I am unlucky and vblade fails when some access on the remote diskless system happens, I may still have problems. But, one thing at a time. First I will replace the SUSE RPM rc script for vblade with my own that restarts the daemon if it fails. Then I will see how things shape up. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
