System boot hanging at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)

[John <johnhedge@gmail.com>]

Hi list,

As the subject says my system hangs at this point. /etc/rc.local only has "exit 0" in it.

The entry before was "Starting mail retrieval agent: system-wide fetchmail not configured"

Sometime before this there was a ClamAv warning that the engine was outdated.

I can ssh into the machine, thankfully, but what can I do to stop it hanging at this point, please?

TIA

John
