      Dear Ken,

      I don’t have test with the Linux Mint21.

      Please check the permissions for user sysop.
      Also if you want we can make a session check your server.

    Hi Yiannis, sorry for the delay in replying,
    if you would like to try a SSH session, that would be ok if thats what you prefer.
    the dxspider on my Pi4 8gb is running ok, thats why you can see the cluster webpage,
    the problem with the new install is on the PC tower with Linux
    Mint, email me if you want to do a SSH session some time.

    Wow, excellent work! I need to migrate my existing spider node to a new server and I need to make sure everything necessary is installed on the new server before I move it. There was one error on a chown operation. The error message said the chown operation used a . instead of a : . Works great anyway. Where is the initialization file? I looked in /etc/init.d and /etc/systemd and didn’t find it.
