Hi,
#./batmand interface ath0
I simply get another command line #. Then when I try a:
#ps -e
I cannot see batman running as a process anywhere. Is there something that I am missing?
if you don't start batman with debug mode enabled it forks into the background. All error messages are logged to syslog. I guess that something is wrong with your setup and batman complains about that before exiting. So, check your logs or use a debug level to find out.
Good luck, Marek
