hddtemp is added to the default run level. On boot there is a hddtemp starting/started message. rc-status says that hddtemp is running. But it isn't. No hddtemp in ps aux, netcat says connection refused, kima&conky don't see it. Everything is fine after a /etc/init.d/hddtemp restart after login and it works like it should. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge hddtemp 2.add hddtemp to default runlevel 3.boot and log in, try to access hddtemp with nc localhost 7634 see fail merge --info * Overlay eclass overrides eclass from PORTDIR: * * '/usr/portage/local/layman/kde/eclass/subversion.eclass' * * It is best to avoid overridding eclasses from PORTDIR because it will * trigger invalidation of cached ebuild metadata that is distributed with * the portage tree.

Is there any log information you can provide as well, to help show the error?
no :( there is nothing in /var/log/everything/current or any other logfile. The other daemons, smartd, acpid, cron, twisted are starting fine and put a message into the log. hddtemp does not (even when started after boot) - and i don't see an option to turn that on. rc-status Runlevel: default acpid [ started ] cpufrequtils [ started ] dbus [ started ] fancontrol [ started ] hald [ started ] hddtemp [ started ] klive [ started ] lm_sensors [ started ] local [ started ] metalog [ started ] net.eth0 [ started ] net.lo [ started ] nscd [ started ] ntp-client [ started ] smartd [ started ] vixie-cron [ started ] xdm [ started ] this is the stuff started in default - and with the exception of hddtemp all of them start and work on boot.
*grmpf* it reliable failed to start. Until I wrote this. Three boots later it came up. So it does not fail always.
but it does fail often enough - just booted an hour ago and hddtemp did not start. It has its symlink in /var/lib/init.d/started, rc-status says that it is running - but it isn't there - and nothing in the logs.
may be this is my issue. Got this error. In my case, this is because hddtemp starts before net.eth0 start, but in /etc/conf.d/hddtemp HDDTEMP_OPTS="-l 192.168.1.246" (ip of eth0 iface) so I think it can't found interface and die. only change in /etc/init.d/hddtemp depend() { need localmount net } added net to 'need' fix this problem.
This indeed seems to fix the problem. Added the 'net' dependency to the initscript in CVS.
