Thanks Scott,
But unfortunately, that's not the case...
With ps ax I found a process
1 ?? ILs 0:00.00 /sbin/init --
Strange stuff, grrr
The server is on a datacenter, I don't see the startup messages...

Scott, Brian a écrit :
> That would be the old 'accidentally deleted a # from a line in rc.conf' problem. There are likely to be several lines beginning '# -- ' in the file. New users often accidentally remove the # making the '--' into a command. There will also be a few messages during startup that will also complain about the '--' command but most people ignore these.
