| * Syntax errors when hopm is running in foreground. This is either the result of missing brackets where needed in config file, or that the file has DOS encodings.

The missing brackets where it was needed may come from the previous section, compared to the line/s where it is indicated by hopm when executed. | * Syntax errors when hopm is running in foreground.
