Since mtn "thinks" the workspace is critical, it will immediately exit. (Upstream is thinking about changing that behaviour in future versions.) The attached patch works around the issue by cd'ing to monotone's $HOME and calling mtn from there. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd to a directory inaccesible to the monotone user, eg. /root/ 2. Issue /etc/init.d/monotone start Actual Results: Mtn starts and immediately exits again, notable by the entry in the logfile Expected Results: Mtn stays "alive". devurandom@gmx.net 2007-09-27 00:28:25 0000 Created an attachment (id=131986) Proposed patch fauli@gentoo.org 2007-10-07 12:33:05 0000 fixed in 0.36 131986 2007-09-27 00:28 0000 Proposed patch monotone.initd.patch text/plain LS0tIC91c3IvbG9jYWwvcG9ydGFnZS9kZXYtdXRpbC9tb25vdG9uZS9maWxlcy9tb25vdG9uZS0w LjMzLmluaXRkCTIwMDctMDktMjcgMDA6Mzg6MzguMDAwMDAwMDAwICswMjAwCisrKyAvZXRjL2lu aXQuZC9tb25vdG9uZQkyMDA3LTA5LTI3IDAyOjE5OjM5LjAwMDAwMDAwMCArMDIwMApAQCAtMTgs NiArMTgsNyBAQAogCS0tcmNmaWxlPSR7TVROX0NPTkZESVJ9L2hvb2tzLmx1YSAtLWxvZz0vdmFy L2xvZy9tb25vdG9uZS9tb25vdG9uZS5sb2ciCiAJIy0tZHVtcD0kRVJST1JMT0cKIE1UTl9QSURG SUxFPSIvdmFyL3J1bi9tb25vdG9uZS9tb25vdG9uZS5waWQiCitNVE5fSE9NRT1gYXdrIC1GOiAt dnVpZD0kTVROX1VTRVIgLXZ1c2VyPSRNVE5fVVNFUiAnJDMgPT0gdWlkIHx8ICQxID09IHVzZXIg eyBwcmludCAkNiB9JyA8L2V0Yy9wYXNzd2RgCiAKIGRiZXhpc3RzKCkgewogCSMgQ3JlYXRlIHRo ZSBkYXRhYmFzZSBpZiBpdCBkb2Vzbid0IGV4aXN0CkBAIC01NCw2ICs1NSw4IEBACiB9CiAKIHN0 YXJ0KCkgeworCWNkICRNVE5fSE9NRQorCiAJZGJleGlzdHMKIAogCWViZWdpbiAiU3RhcnRpbmcg bW9ub3RvbmUgc2VydmVyIgpAQCAtNzEsNiArNzQsOCBAQAogfQogCiBpbXBvcnQoKSB7CisJY2Qg JE1UTl9IT01FCisKIAlkYmV4aXN0cwogCiAJIyBSZWFkIHBhY2tldHMgaW50byB0aGUgZGF0YWJh c2UK
