The simple answer is that you have one or more bugs in one or more of your programs or your operating environment. The bug may be in one or more of your perl scripts, one or more of your csh scripts, one or more of the other programs you've run between the time that they first worked and the time they stopped working, or it could easily be that you have manually changed something in your environment between the time you open a terminal session and the time one or more of your programs stops working.

If you'd like to show us the script that stops working and show us the EXACT error messages it produces when it stops working, we may be able to help you figure out what is going on.

If you want us to play another long game of us trying to get enough information to help you while you hide information from us, you may find that we'll tire of wasting our time.

service

service(8)						      System Manager's Manual							service(8)

NAME

       service - run a System V init script

SYNOPSIS

       service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]

       service --status-all

       service --help | -h | --version

DESCRIPTION

       service	runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
       working directory set to /.

       The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT.  The  supported  values  of  COMMAND  depend  on  the
       invoked	script.  service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified.  All scripts should support at least the start and stop
       commands.  As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start  com-
       mand.

       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.

EXIT CODES

       service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.

FILES

       /etc/init.d
	      The directory containing System V init scripts.

ENVIRONMENT

       LANG, TERM
	      The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

SEE ALSO

       /etc/init.d/skeleton,
       update-rc.d(8),
       init(8),
       invoke-rc.d(8).
