My script which generated the G1ECU.ini file had a bug
and built a file with syntax errors in it. This is the
reason for the "daqd respawning too fast" error as the
daqd process was being autostarted by inittab and crashing
out. I fixed the script (/opt/rtcds/geo/g1/scripts/create_edcu_ini.pl)
and also changed it to generate a G0EDCU.ini file (not G1).
At this point daqd started. However the EDCU complained about
another IOC at 10.12.0.13 which had all the channels 10.11.0.24
was serving. Found out that eth1 was active with the 10.12.0.13 IP
address, and the IOC was being found on both IP ports. I
disabled eth1.

we should watch that eth1 is not reinstated on the next reboot

Later Corey was having nds issues, so I restarted daqd and nds
together since they had a split-start earlier in the day (see
above).
