The problem was in the whitelist file. I've deleted the second line and now both ncidd and ncid-notify both load correctly and I get notifications with prowl, NCIDpop and NCID for Android. All is now working correctly with the amended ncid (NCID) 1.11-sandya

Applied and now ncid -V results in ncid (NCID) 1.11-sandya ncid-notify now loads correctly BUT ncidd fails to load, sudo systemctl start ncidd results in: Job for ncidd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status ncidd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. sudo systemctl status ncidd results in ● ncidd.service - Network Caller ID server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ncidd.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code)...

I've followed the instructions and I have ncid-client-1.11-sandy.tar in my /home/pi directory. Running: sudo tar xf ncid-client-1.11-sandy.tar -C / Unpacks a copy of ncid and ncid-1.11R into the root directory of my pi But running ncid -V still gives me: ncid (NCID) 1.11 Is there a step to actually instal the new version rather than unpacking it? Or shoudl it unpack into my /usr/bin directory to overwrite the presently installed version?

Hi Todd, I have an SD card with v1.9 up and running with everything working. That was a straightforward install and setup once I worked out the format for numbers in the alias file. But I also have another SD card with 1.11 installed which I am happy to play with to help diagnose any problems. It is this 1.11 install that fails to run ncid-notify. I ensured that both ncid and ncid-notify weren't running (neither are at present set to start on bootup). Then followed steps 2, 3 and 4 and I've attached...

Hi John, Thanks for the reply. In regard to the notifications I think I have resolved this my alias file was in the format: alias NAME * = "Sandy Mobile" if "xxxxxxxxxxx" And that didn't work However changing it to: alias NAME * = "Sandy Mobile" if "xxxxx-xxxxxx" Now works - I'm un the UK if that makes a difference. In regard to the latest version 1.11 Ncid-Notify doesn't load correctly. Here's the full process for a brand new install: I am using Pi Zero W I installed the latest version of raspbian...
