[NTLUG:Discuss] daemontools

[Richard Geoffrion]

After I posted that last night I found a web site that talked about a
replacement script for svscanboot, and I saw where the startup command put
in all dots.  I figured that if only dots showed then everything was running
ok, but I decided to leave the NTLUG message  as it stands to get some
verification on the issue.   Thanks.  ( I still wish the documentation would
have said something warning people that the dots were ok.  Talk about
forcing someone to understand everything in great detail!  I'm sure glad I'm
not Microsoft certified! {forgive the cheap jab})

Repeating...If all dots, then no problem.

:) Thanks!

get there!  And isn't that what counts!
