I double checked #/usr/local/etc/gkrellmd.conf for errors and found none. I tried the startup script again #/usr/local/etc/rc.d/gkrellmd.sh start and got the same error. I tried from the command line with #gkrellmd and no error. I guess the error is in gkrellmd.sh . I will see on Monday what happens on startup. Cheers, Ryan Merrick
