No, not that I am aware off.     But that doesn't mean much.  I might 
have missed something while setting this up.

O.k. I had to use truss and what I got was interesting.  I had to 
actually run it own interchange --start just so I could see what was normal.

When I run truss on the pid of an already running IC and then tried 
./interchange --stop, not much happened.  One thing I did notice, 
however, was that I was seeing calls to "open64("[path to 
interchange]/etc", O_RDONLY|O_NDELAY) = 2

I am thinking there should be a filename in there somewhere.   If this 
is the call to read the pid file, then I can see why it is failing.  The 
question is, where does this call get its value for the pid file from?   
It must be missing from a configuration somewhere, but I'll be darned if 
I can figure out where.

Also, I am able to delete the file while IC is running.  I half 
suspected that it would be locked while the server is  up.   Is this wrong?

Any hint where this might be would be great :)

Thanks,
Brian
