Re: Unrecognized service

Here's what the ps command gives:

root(at)server# ps ax | grep post
9165 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep post

Does this mean it's not running?

It's certainly possible that software updates have occurred. There are a
lot of people working on this machine, so I'm not aware of which changes
have been made lately.

Do you think I need to reinstall the works and set everything up again?
