  34 <PRE>Andrew the last time I wrote wrt the my crontab script you stated that it was
  35 my script that was faulty.
  36
  37 I am now using yours and am still getting the same results.
  38
  39 Basically I set the script and put a path to it in the crontab.
  40
  41 Every ten minutes I not only get an email stating services is starting but I
  42 get the expected error in irc stating that it is cancelling the new link as
  43 it already exists.
  44
  45 I then look in /lib and find that the .pid file has disappeared (it was there
  46 when services started).
  47
  48 All I can think is that this element of the config is wrong:
  49
  50 # RunGroup &lt;group&gt;  [OPTIONAL]
  51 #     Specify the group which Services should run as.  &lt;group&gt; can be
  52 #     either a group name or an equals sign (&quot;=&quot;) followed by a group ID.
  53 #     If not specified, Services will use the group ID it is started with.
  54 #     Note that Unix setgid permission on the executable file will do the
  55 #     same thing, but the setgid permission bit is cleared whenever the
  56 #     file is modified, while this setting will always be used (if the
  57 #     system permits it) when Services is started.
  58
  59 #RunGroup       ice
  60 #RunGroup       =65534    # A common value for the &quot;nogroup&quot; group
  61
  62 # Umask &lt;umask&gt;  [RECOMMENDED]
  63 #     Sets the umask (file creation mask) for Services.  This mask is
  64 #     applied to all data files created by Services, including database
  65 #     files (which are recreated on every database update) and the process
  66 #     ID file (PIDFile, below), and indicates which file permission bits
  67 #     are NOT to be set on those files as an octal value.  Common values
  68 #     are given in the examples below.  If not specified, the umask in
  69 #     place when Services is started will be used.
  70
  71 #Umask          077     # Disallows access to all but file owner
  72                         #    (recommended when RunGroup is not set)
  73 #Umask          007     # Allows access to members of file group as well
  74                         #    (recommended when RunGroup is set)
  75
  76 I have tried various combinations of the above to no avail.
  77
  78 Any help or advice would be much appreciated :)
