A simpler solution, if rc.local's termination behaviour is not desired,<br>
is to change it. Simply remove the "-e" from the first line in the<br>
script so that /bin/sh is not called with the -e parameter.<br>

I never turn my system off so I would say that the HDHR was probably running for several months before it suddenly became unresponsive.
