The command (it's portsnap wrapped up with start & finish time messages 
that can be run from cron) has worked perfectly correctly for weeks, 
with no problems. What I'm interested in is why it failed this time when 
it seemed to behave no differently from any time before, with no error 
messages.

BTW, Handbook contents: 5 The X Window System

Methinks you mean Chapter 4, which I'm familiar with, ditto portsnap. I 
switched to using it rather than csup months ago, and it's been 
faultless until now. I probably should have copied cperciva on the 
initial post.
