RE: {bb} Permission denied killing bb processes

Philip:
I never thanked you for your help on this. I'm so behind on all of the
lists I watch. Your guess about the ramdisk is a good theory. I'm going
to run with this and tinker a bit.  Thank you again.

The more I look at this, the more I think that the four (or five if you
count the commented one) lines like:

  $PS | $GREP $BBHOME | $GREP -v grep | $GREP -v bb-display >>
$BBTMP/runbb.sh.$$

starting at line 122, were not intended to have the "-v" flag on the
final grep. Maybe it's a cut 'n' paste bug-let, but it only makes sense
to me if those lines are matching the normal BB processes rather than
excluding them.

If runbb.sh is modified, that part of the script will still manage to
stop BB even if the BBPID file is missing. The next step would be to try
and work out why the BBPID file disappears or gets out of sync. My first
guess would be that the ramdisk might not be available quickly enough
after a reboot. Otherwise, you could always write a quick BB ext script
to watch it :)

Cheers, Phil.
