I'm trying to restart the daemon and get this

Stopping HAL daemon: [FAILED]
Starting HAL daemon: [FAILED]
Is it because I might not have haldaemon in my system.
[david@reddwarf ~]$ sudo rpm -qa | grep haldaemon
This brings up nothing.
Thanks david

Hi david walcroft!
To administrate, be root - become so "su".

------------------------------------------------
BUGS AND DEBUGGING
Please send bug reports to either the distribution or the HAL mailing
list, see http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/hal on how to
subscribe.
First, to obtain useful debug traces you will need to have debuginfo
packages installed. On a Fedora system this is in the hal-debuginfo
package and can be installed via the yum update program.
Second, shut down the existing hald daemon instance; on a Fedora system
this is achieved by
/etc/init.d/haldaemon stop
After having shut down the daemon, you might want to run
pkill hald
to ensure that all the helper processe of hald are killed too. To start
the HAL daemon, use
/usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes
gdb /usr/sbin/hald
and then typing
run --daemon=no --verbose=yes
at the (gdb) prompt. To capture a back trace, use the bt command and
attach this to the bug report.
Please also attach the output of lshal(1) in the bug report if possible
(it's not possible if the hald daemon crashed). If the nature of the
bug has to do with hotplugging, attach two outputs of lshal(1) - one
before the device hotplug event and one after.

Have fun!

I read the man "hald" but my problem is I
cannot shutdown hald as shown in my first post.
