Hi Ralph,

I just discovered that a couple of our soft IOC's, running via procServ,

had stopped running. When I tried launching the procServ daemon again,

I would get the message about spawning a daemon process, but ps would

fail to find it. On investigation, it turned out that both these
IOC's had

2GB log files. When I removed the log files, procServ was able to

launch successfully.
I don't know if this was intended, but it would seem more prudent to keep

the process running without logging if the log file is full, and just
print to

stderr that the log is full.
Best regards,
