Well, cgpsa as shipped definitely does not execute any shell commands,=20 never mind an "su"; it does spawn additional perl processes if you're=20 running it multithreaded, but that's done with fork(). It sounds to me like maybe your copy of cgpsa has been altered in some way. = Either that, or some other process is also dumping logs to cgpsa.err for=20 some reason. -Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel M.
