Thats um...fixed. (btw xfstt-0.9.9-7 is currently installed...)
The problm well...actually kin dof embarasing :)
I got an e-mail about a week ago with an idea....to make xfstt's init.d
script behave allot more like xfs...I thought "cool"
The script he gave me (which I used) contained:
portno=7100
I changed it a few releaces ago to 7101 as a default (to avoid conflict
with xfs)...I didn't catch this...course...I was tired at the time :)
now it apears to be working...except...
when it "starts"..well...
xfstt doesn't automatically daemonize... you have to invoke it with an &
or somehow otherwise daemonize it...so start-stop-daemon never returns...
so I put a & on the whole line.
I would like to change that but...havn't yet. Should be a matter of adding
a single command line option to daemonize and actually daemonizing is easy

Well I didn't write that part...and it worked...so I didn't fix it
however...I think he just copies from the xfs script because...
it has the same line (just without the tt)

hmm the xfs one doesn't have the $ ...ill fix it :)
Thanx...grep patterns in general tend to confuse me a bit...
its one of those things im still learning
