Thanks Bela for your reply.
I agree with you. I did run the node under Fedora 8/Mandrake and never had a
problem.
By doing the upgrade to Fedora 9 I've now this behaviour. I think somebody
need also to
test this distro (I always worked with Linux Red Hat and Mandrake 9).
I don't see any errors or warning messages in the /var/log folder... but I
will wait
patiently some replies and do some more test in my environment.
Have a good week end.
Regarsd, HB9DHG Fulvio

Fulvio,
I do not see why your spider is resppawning. It happened to me two or
three years ago. Now as I remember it was running fine when started
manually, only from inittab failed. Do not remember the solution, but I
found it evaluating server logs I think (syslog, messages in
/var/log...) just the usual LINUX server bug fixing. I know it is not
very helpful, but was a long time ago.
BTW, it was a normal REDHAT/CENTOS/MANDRAKE environment.
Regards... Béla, HA5DI
