[smokeping-users] Failed smokeping restart.

[Shawn Rose]

Hello,

I noticed the same thing. I'm running debian etch with regular x86
kernal. I'm using the latest 2.3.5 debian package.


According to the log the daemon never starts again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
smokeping:~# /etc/init.d/smokeping restart

smokeping:~# less /var/log/smokeping.log
smokeping:~# tail /var/log/smokeping.log

Heres my process, and then another attempt to start the daemon that woks.

Not a big problem, but something seems not right.
