Thanks, Kern. I've tested it with a Linux RH 6.2 master and an OpenBSD 2.7 slave. Your 25 Feb snapshot fixes both issues. Thanks for your efforts. I have also attached a minor patch relative to your 25 Feb snapshot. It addresses the following issues: - elimination of an unnecessary lock file for OpenBSD - change of lockfile path for OpenBSD - allow for some Makefiles to not exist during - recursive makes (platform independent) - cleaned up restart code for OpenBSD FWIW, since I have (new)BackupsPro UPSes, I didn't use the exact test you mentioned (unplugging the serial cable), but rather killed the master, waited a bit, then restarted it. This shows the problem with 3.8.1, and shows it fixed with the 25 Feb patch. Devin
