Re: daemonize a perl script on redhat linux 7.3

thanks for all the replies fellow monks, but i tried: use Proc::Daemon; Proc::Daemon::Init; and it worked fine going into daemon mode, but when i try to connect to the box, winamp gives me an error saying, "cannot sync to mpeg" ... any thoughts? thanks.

Which version of the code are you using - the database version, the orig version, the patched version? I'm wondering if: Winamp is connecting to the server The server has access to the mp3 (file permissions) The mp3's actually exist Are you running it chroot? That could have a lot to do with accessing your mp3's. Is your link too slow? Perhaps winamp cant sync because its recieving data at a slow rate... I run the database version on my redhat 7.2 box with no worries at all. I have it running locally and (simultaneously) also across the network (100Mb) to winamp with no worries. My redhat box is an OLD P-II, (indicating, a non high performance requirement)	[reply]
