During mergemaster, I am pretty sure no critical file changed. I may swear this and be proved wrong though/ What I need to find out is which file controls the starting of the scripts in rc.d/ The first clue I have about all this is that I realized that mysql-server.sh refused to start. When I attempted to start it manually the system complained that there was "&&" that was unexpected. So I am wondering whether the syntax for /bin/sh has changed??? There has never been a probem with these scripts before. They cannot all develop a problem at once, and furthermore they are the default startup scripts that come with apps installed from the ports. The bad thing about all this is that once I was over with mergemaster, I blew away the backup etc :-( -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington <wash@wananchi.com> "The box said 'Requires Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com Windows 95, NT, or better,' Tel: +254 2 313985-9 +254 2 313922 so I installed FreeBSD."
