Still getting the messages in my reports. :( I had to add the logwatch dir to /etc as it wasn't present before but that did not help. I have edited the hddtemp.conf file and added the HD names and started hddtemp but that hasn't helped. I'm at the end of my rope as I cannot find the program that is starting this userhelper program. I even went as far as to reboot thinking that soming might be just hung and causing this but that too did not help. -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value!
