Re: runit pblms on Mandrake

[Karthik M <k_mohanas@yahoo.com>]

Hello everyone,

pgrphack did the trick. My daemontools fired up the
getty fine and my runit bootup came up smoothly. Thanx
for all the suggestions and discussions.

I searched thru the man page for mingetty and there
was no mentioning that it has to be the process group
leader and we had to invoke setsid() if we need to
invoke it seperately !! where do we get all these kind
of info for debugging such pblms ?? just out of
curiosity want to know so that i can search on my own
before posting it to mailing lists.

thanks

karthik
