You may very well be seeing the same thing I'm seeing here. Try this:
Open *two* terminal sessions on the computer hosting LCDd
In session one, start LCDd as you normally would
In session two, run `ps ax | grep LCDd`
- at this point, you may see two LCDd processes (parent & child), plus the grep command you just ran
- take note of the process ID of the *first* LCDd process
- then, in session two, run `kill -SIGUSR1
` (where
is the previously noted process id
See if the LCDd startup process in session one has returned to the shell prompt
If this seems to work for you, then you are having the same problem with properly forking to the child process that I described
earlier in this list (and made mention of in yesterday's post). You also won't be able to set LCDd to start automatically during
the boot process, since it'll hang there waiting for the signal back from the child process (and, in my situation, you cannot do
anything about it yet, as the sshd daemon hasn't yet started, so I can't get to the system to "push it along")
