I've seen this in the past and I had to modify /etc/init.d/cmdloop to get it to work, up to and including BOBS 0.64. For whatever reason, when running '/etc/init.d/cmdloop start', it *always* thinks cmdloop is running (when it's not). I tried running 'ps -C cmdloop' to see it's output, and it lists header information - so I modified the init script by adding '--no-headers' to the 'ps' command, but for whatever reason, it still thought it was running when it wasn't (testing 'ps --no-headers -C cmdloop' showed no output on the commandline). So I just took out the check, and it worked fine. Not sure what's up with that, but thought I'd let you know.

I cannot seem to get cmdloopd to run (or stay running) on ubuntu 8.04. The backups will not do anything and it doesn't even create a /var/log/bobs.log file.
