Hi all, This is sort of a last ditch effort before I re-install.... A few hours ago, copy and paste stopped working on my MBP (running 10.5.4). Sure enough pboard was dead. I decided to reboot, just in case anything else got messed up. Now it will not start at all. Running "launchctl list" does not show it, and if I try and explicitly list it, I get the following error message: % launchctl list com.apple.pboard launch_msg(): Socket is not connected I get the same error message if I try to load com.apple.pboard.plist. I've also noticed that Apache and ssh-agent also are no longer starting, either, so something is definitely wonky with some of the system daemons. There are probably other critical daemons not starting, I imagine, too. Note: there's plenty of free disk space (32 GB). Any other idea? I'm nearly ready to re-install at this point. Thanks, -Dave
