Qingy Is Not GettY

Hi noberasco!

First of all i want to thank you for your great software. I like it very much :-)

My problem is that i can't get options like -n or -p working. It ends in respawing ttys.

What is my mistake? Usage: qingy <ttyname> [options]

c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty2 -p -n

Is that wrong?

Thanks a lot Sven O.

I tried to copy and paste your 'c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty2 -p -n' line in my /etc/inittab. Works just fine here. Are you sure that is the exact line you put inside your file? No tabs instead of spaces, stray characters, stuff like that? What is your qingy version? What is the exact output you get from qingy when it does not work for you?

Regards, Michele

I am very sorry to have stolen your time. :-(

The entries i posted you i didn't have in my inittab anymore after i gave up trying to use it. I can't say 100% anymore if i didn't made the mistake to have a tab or too many spaces after <tty>.

After you answered me i tried it again and it works. I am very sorry for that. It make me feel like a beginner. :-(

Thanks a lot for your fast reply.

Regards, Sven.O

The best problems are those that solve themselves :-)
