Huh, ps -A doesn't work on my distribution, I normally use ps aux, what
are you running?

So, you said you were using the CVS version? Would that be hal-cvs from
Gentoo (I'm just guessing)? 

In that case please ensure you configure the sources with --enable-
verbose-mode. Or even better, run the code directly from a CVS
checkout :-)

(I'm going to make even non-verbose mode print everything below [W] as
well (if HALD_VERBOSE is set or if run with --verbose) to better handle
bug reports).

OK, looks good.

You need D-BUS 0.22 or higher; CVS from five days ago should be fine,
but then again I don't know what may be in the dbus-cvs package
(assuming you're using Gentoo.)
