Hi DavidG

The  4 jails that I set up over the last 5 days were all with user:group
ledgersmb with /usr/home/ledgersmb

my results today with starman -I lib --listen
localhost:5762 /usr/home/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/tools/starman.psgi were
even more horrific.  I did not try your script I apologise.

So after 8 years of using LedgerSMB I think I will move on. I can only
recall one year where the install wasn't terrible

Also I am new to Freebsd and it is not the same as Debian. So that too
is a learning curve

I do appreciate your help

Thanks
Geordie
