Re: [coldsync-hackers] daemon mode

["Brian Johnson" <bjohnson at jecinc dot on.ca>]

Do you have a /etc/coldsyncrc file?

Coldsync reads that before ~/.coldsyncrc

coldsync -md IS coldsync ... it just runs in the background and waits for you.  Both
cannot be run at the same time though cause they both try to grab the port you
specify (try it if you like)
