(this is on a Feb 6'04 toaster build)
So I notice there's a process running readproctitle and it keeps complaining about not being able to access files. (can't recall the exact error)
I run services stop then remove the readproctitle process. I go to start services and now it wont start - keeps complaining about not being able to access files. I compare everything in /var/service to various backups over the last few months and nothing has changed. /var/qmail/supervise is exactly the same as well..
After pulling out half my hair, I decide to try to upgrade the toaster. Following Matt's upgrade page, everything goes just fine until I get to the qmail section. Here's the end of the output from toaster_setup.pl -s qmail
...and it keeps scrolling with `unable to chdir` until I hit ctrl-c
So now I figure I'm already screwed, so why not just start fresh? (sorta) After backing up my config/email/etc, I remove qmail/vpopmail/courier/etc.. Clean up my ports, cvsup ports then run portupgrade -ai .
Now I start from the beginning on the installation page, upgrade to perl 5.8.1, start with fresh toaster-conf files and follow the rest. Again, everything is working fine until I try to install qmail. I see that /var/qmail is there, but if I move past qmail and install everything else (which works), I still end up with service errors.
I've been running Matt's toaster recipe since the beginning of 2002 and I thought I had some clue of what I was doing. What am I missing???
any tips are greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

Also, if I continue with the install, everything except for the `supervise` steps works.

I suspect your toaster-watcher.conf file has some "interesting" settings that are related to your problems.

Well, the box was acting very interesting and needed help from fsck. I finally got the services running, but smtp was still being weird. Since this was a temporary box anyway, I'm in the process of toasting up the new hardware before the drive does anything else interesting.
