Anyone know why I am getting this? Before you ask:

empeg:/empeg/bin# cd /empeg/var

empeg:/empeg/var# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 4096 Jun 7 17:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 0 0 4096 May 29 2001 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 390 Jun 7 17:33 tags



So my config.ini is definitely not too big. What I have done is that I have created a script to run the player binary with the -s- option i.e.

empeg:/empeg/bin# cd /empeg/bin

empeg:/empeg/bin# cat player
#!/bin/bash

CODE=42

while [ $CODE -eq 42 ]; do

echo "Starting original player"
/empeg/bin/player.orig -s- $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6
CODE=$?
echo "Original player exited with return code" "$CODE"

if [ $CODE -eq 42 ]; then
echo "Restarting player..."
fi
done


The original player binary is simply renamed to player.orig.

Perhaps there is a better way to do this? Everything else works fine, hijack just runs out of room to load the config.ini to parse things. I am also running preinit.d with that little telnetd and the viewer program that attaches to hijack. All I have to do is rename the player.orig back to the original and everything's sweet again so I don't think it's preinit.d.

It appears to be something to do with using the shell to launch the player.

Ideas?

thanks,
