Hi ,guys :

I reboot my computer which is installed the CentOS 5.4 64 bits just now and find that SCIM service does  not start

And the error message is these: root@test  ~: tailf   /var/log/message xxxx  scim-bridge: Another agent is running .. xxx   scim-bridge: Failed to allocate the agent . Exitting .... .... ....

I also run this command "ps aux |grep scim " to pick up which process use the scim service and kill that , but that problem is as before .

So what could I do ? thanks in advance .....

remove lock file from /var/run/* directories and try again?

if still not working, try strace on the process start
