I have tried version 1.7. It's all very weird and I am very confused. Apparently the script finds itself when it is called like the daemon it is meant to start. For example, I use /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid to start /usr/sbin/squid. The script starts up, looks for squid, finds itself, thinks, squid is already running, and aborts. That is very weird because I'd think that the -o %PPID parameter to pidof (in getpids() in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions) would filter out the script from the list of returned pids. So I added a ""ps ax | grep squid"" right after the pidof command, and had it print the return of getpids to the screen. It looks like this (newlines deliberately added to improve readability, he prints everything into one line): Starting squid ... 1747 pts/2 S 0:00 /bin/sh ./squid start 1750 pts/2 S 0:00 /bin/sh ./squid start 1754 pts/2 S 0:00 grep squid 1751 1750 Already running [ ATTN ]" defect closed normal Book CVS normal fixed
