<div>Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Gordon, read your mail around the same time I was experiencing this issue, saved me some troubleshooting. Bazsi, your method of adding a -f to the start_daemon call also fixes this problem for me on debian.</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
We have an alternative solution for the same problem, waiting for a<br>

<br>
Can you check if this one works for you too?<br>
<br>
This adds a -f to the start_daemon call.<br>
