Crashplan for Dummies, aka Step by Step :)

So when you navigated to /usr/local/crashplan and use "ls" are there any files in it? Make sure you're not doing cd /etc/init.d/crashplan status. "cd" moves between directories. Just /etc/init.d/crashplan status You would be helping your self an incredible amount if you knew a couple basic Linux commands like cd, ls etc.

I wasn't doing the /etc/.. with cd.

ls for usr/local/crashplan shows:
NAS-FAIYAZZ:~# cd /usr/local/crashplan
NAS-FAIYAZZ:/usr/local/crashplan# ls
backupArchives bin install.vars

ls for /usr/local shows:

bin CrashPlanEngine.pid games lib sbin src
crashplan etc include man share var

ls for /usr shows:
bin games include lib local sbin share src


I know some basis linux commands but my main problem is all of a sudden it has stopped working for no apparent reason and can't seem to get back for it to work. I've tried re-installing but still not working and am really stuck.

i tried command : ps aux | grep BaseName BUT all i get is > root 8424 0.0 0.0 3840 504 pts/0 S+ 21:31 0:00 grep BaseName ???

and for commaned: netstat -an | grep ':424.' I get nothing ???

Shall I reinstall? Do I have to remove the directories?

Thanks for your support!
