Hi Paul,

Sorry for the delay in my reply, I attempted to run it closing stdin but 
it didn't work :-(  In the short term as this is quite a heavy used server 
I have written a script which just checks to see if the process is running 
and if not restarts it, seems to be working fine (no idea why its failing, 
doesn't return enough information).

Cheers for your help.
