Mutt is a program name? I've seen you mention it as a reason for losing

I think Mutt was the name of a dog. I did a quick google and didn't hit anything, but I think the dog used to fetch the the author's mail (Michael Elkins?). I did a quick google and can't find anything to back that up, but it's been around for a long time.

I hit a problem recently with Thunderbird/Firefox after installing fonts. The application would start then just exit -- no explanation as to why to stderr or to any logs I could find. I found it with strace. One of the last commands executed was a failed open on the font directory.


If your daemon is just starting then exiting, maybe this would give you a clue as to why. But you will get lots of output and it can be hard to decypher. Also, I'm not sure if 'strace -f' would follow the daemon process or not.
'strace -f -ofilename thing_to_execute' would at least give you a dump of what's happening and might give you a clue. Do 'man strace' for further info on strace. What it does is to catch system calls your process makes.
