[comp.windows.open-look] calendar daemon problems

jc@raven.bu.edu (James Cameron) (01/31/91)

computer - sparcstation1+ running 4.0.3

I can't seem to get the calendar daemon running.  I have it 
running on the other workstations, but it will not
start on a particular one.  

What happens:

You can run CM but it takes forever to show up on the screen.
I mean, 5 to 10 minutes sometimes.

If you have run across this problem before, please send
me a message.

Thanks.

Everytime I've had this problem, it was due to directory permissions
and ownership of /usr/spool/calendar.  It should be set up like so:

drwxrwsrwt  2 daemon   daemon        512 Jan 31 03:59 calendar/

Then kill the deamon and restart it.  Sometimes, I've had to reboot
the machine to get everything working correctly.

Thanks for the time and thought, but the problem was that
the Sys. Admin who ported Calendar over to the particular
workstation did not do it properly.  Simple to correct, 
but difficult to diagnose.  Thanks again!
