Hi Kevin,

My /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file contains the following 3 lines at the end, the
first is the bit mentioned above

ifconfig lo up
/var/hack/xplhub &
/var/hack/tivoosd lounge &

The first line gets the loopback interface up and running
The 2nd line launches the hub as a process
The 3rd line launches the tivo osd app as a process with the xpl instance
of
lounge

All my linux framework app's require that an instance be specified on the
command line.
They default to use eth0 (fine for tivo) but you can also specify any other
ethernet interface on the command line as well like eth1 etc.

I have basically a single (nearly) linux xpl development framework that
works for
Linux
Cygwin
Rio (as part of rioplayxpl)
Tivo - has mods, due to issue with threads on a tivo

Regards
Tony
