I noticed a minor feature of the recently posted loadavgd program for use with the new sysinfo is that it doesn't close the control terminal stdio/stderr streams when it forks. The result is that you pig-up a window or if you happened to start loadavgd manually over a serial line, the DTR lead won't drop when you log out, as you still have the streams open. To fix, fclose the stdin, stdout, and stderr streams just before the call to doit(). I don't have the source on this machine I'm typing this from, or else I'd include the diff. It's pretty easy to fix by hand anyway. My apologies if this isn't how the gurus do it; I'm a hardware person more than a software person. It worked for me, though. Bill
