I've tried reinstalling Dropbox via command line. I've tried killing the init.d script, removing all entries and reinstalling.

Whenever I log in and fix it, everything seems to run fine for a day or two, but then it stops syncing again. If I manually start via service dropbox start, the service reports itself as not running but dropbox.py reports it as syncing. If I manually start using dropbox.py, everything syncs - but the dropbox service reports it as not running. When I reboot the server calling service dropbox status returns that it is running, but dropbox.py states it is not, and nothing syncs. I added the Dropbox CLI interface (dropbox.py) and an init.d entry to start it as a daemon, using one of the many examples I found online (currently init.d script is modeled after this one, see below for the actual script). I initially linked my account to Dropbox using the GUI in an X session. However, I can't get Dropbox to stay running consistently. Dropbox was installed when I took over the server, so it seemed like an easy method.


We've been trying to use Dropbox to share some of the files. I'm inheriting admin control over a server used to process and share data between investigators.
