I read it you don't know why lpd dies and don't know how to trigger it, but don't have too much space to log a complete life cycle, either? Maybe you want to run a (kind of) supervised instance of lpd. It could be done by running truss(1) output through "tail -500" into a result file -- and thus reduce disk space needed while still getting enough of a traceback to find out what's going on. Or run some multilog like tool, look at ports/sysutils/daemontools if you like DJBware. virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
