A poor shutdown has resulted in wicd not running. Any ideas?

dbus and hal appear to be running.

bash-4.1# /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd restart
Stopping wicd daemon...
Starting wicd daemon: /usr/sbin/wicd &

bash-4.1# bash-4.1# ps -ax | grep 'wicd'
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See
http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
2194 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep wicd
bash-4.1#

bash-4.1$ wicd-cli
Error: Could not connect to the daemon. Please make sure it
is running.
bash-4.1$

I've reinstalled dbus, hal, dbus-python and wicd to no avail.
Any thoughts on what to try next?

Pete

ls -lrt in the /etc tree to see most recently changed files?

Also check for stale files under /var/{run,lock} and friends.

Or, installpkg --reinstall \
/path/to/slackware*_$version/slackware*/*/t*z [1]

for the grossly overdone fix :(

[1] slackware* being slackware or slackware64

Barnabyh replies:

Normally a reinstall of Wicd resolved the 'cannot connect to dbus'
error for me.
Your problem seems a bit different though, sorry.

Barnabyh replies:

Sorry, been a while but Grant jogged my memory. It was actually a lock
file or two in /var that needed deleting, afterwards all was fine.
Might be the same for you.

Just a remark about this: it is ps ax (no -) for the
"old syntax" options (like a) or ps -ef for the newer Posix
ones. See also "man ps".

That's why you get the warning.
