daemon starting twice

Hello everyone,
   I know this is gonna sound a lil bit n00bish but then i'm a n00b.The problem is that "acpid" is starting twice while boot-up even though its enterd only once in /etc/rc.conf,i donno whats woring,is it whether the sequence in which ive put up the daemons or is it that some other program is starting it.Here's my daemon section of rc.conf file:-

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# DAEMONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
#   - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
#   - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
#
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond dbus hal acpid gdm alsa)

Can anyone tell me whats going wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Rajiv Nair

Re: daemon starting twice

it just a guess, but: maybe a daemon u start "depends" on acpid and starts it with it (like portmap is started when u start fam).
just try putting acpid behind syslon-ng on 2nd place and see what u get
good luck,

cheers,
