Sat May 24 16:45:14 BST 2008

Hi Bob
I am using ubuntu 7.10  server .
Maybe this can help :

In etc/event.d/tty5   I replaced de getty_line by :

respawn
exec /home/sysop/spider/perl/cluster.pl sysop >/dev/tty5

73

Hi
i am still having some issues with one of the clusters i take care of
i have been running it manually to start it and it is working fine as soon
as i put it back into the upstart in ubuntu under the events.d dir for
tty5 it comes up in the processes when i look but it give connection
refused someone mention that this could be happening because of the user
file can someone tell me if i should delete this file or both files one
called users.V3 and users.asc i think those are the names of them or which
one i should and will this then recreate the file or files this upstart
was working all along only seem to change when i upgraded to 155 build 0.7
i have try build 0.9 and even when back to version 1.54 and now it doesnt
work so i have gone back to V1.55 build 0.9 and not sure where to go from
here and help will be great
Thanks
Bob
