Ok here it goes this is what i did :
[root@Blackhawk nickh]# /sbin/fuser 880/tcp
[root@Blackhawk nickh]# ps -ef | grep xinetd
root 444 1 0 19:44 ? 00:00:00 xinetd -reuse -pidfile
/var/run/
root 3335 3325 0 20:15 pts/0 00:00:00 grep xinetd
[root@Blackhawk nickh]# ps -ef | grep fam
root 3337 3325 0 20:16 pts/0 00:00:00 grep fam
[root@Blackhawk nickh]# ls -l /usr/local/bin/fam
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 114232 Oct 9 23:59 /usr/local/bin/fam
[root@Blackhawk nickh]#
as you can see when i did the "/sbin/fuser 880/tcp" nothing happened just went
to the command prompt again. and when I did the "ls -l /usr/local/bin/fam" it
gave me that the daemon was still there. No im not sure i wanted to uninstall
i just wanted to see what it would do if i did.
I donno if i told you what i was doing to try to get fam to work im tryin to
install EFM with enlightenment. and they both compiled fine with no probs but
when i try and install EFM it says the fam is bad!! but heh it compiled fine
so it showed that fam was there so i donno.
Thx again man
