I get the same error. Actually, the error comes up during the installation/
Looking inside the file, you can see the -f option on the install command, followed by $PIDFILE as an argument. It is probably a simple typo on the part of the script's author. But I am not sure how to fix it myself. I think that the -f needs to be removed. But the way I understand the install command from it's man page and help, I think that there is still a missing arguement. $PIDFILE gives the name of the destination file to be created but I don't see a source file. If I am right in guessing that it is simply a dummy file, maybe /dev/null or something can be used as the source file and $PIDFILE the destination. Or maybe install is a bad choice and touch followed by chown and chmod would be better? Now again it could be that the $PIDFILE is supposed to contain the process ID of the instance of the mldonkey server. In that case I am really unsure how to fix it myself. I am computer savvy in general but still very much a n00b on linux and especially shell scripts. Ugh. Oh well.. I'll play around with my script and if I have any luck I'll post back here. - Tim
