[Serusers] Stopping and starting

[AJ Grinnell]

Whenever I stop SER and then try to restart it, it always crashes. I stop
SER by /etc/rc.d/init.d/ser stop, and then start it by
/etc/rc.d/ini.d/start. Linux says that it starts ok, but when I do a
/usr/sbin/serctl ps or moni, nothing happens. I control-c and get the
message:
usr/sbin/serctl: line 235: /tmp/ser_fifo: Interrupted system call
Terminated
Not sure what is going on, hoping someone can help before I just give up on
even dealing with SER
