gpsd not started

[slyon]

If I try to start/stop gps on the GTA04 with the gta04-gps-handler utility I get an error message.
This happens if I issue the python script directly as well as if I issue it through the init.d script.

root@om-gta04:~# /usr/bin/gps_handler.py stop
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gps_handler.py", line 67, in <module>
    w = Watcher(startstop)

    self.daemon = gps.gps(host="localhost",port=2947,mode=gps.WATCH_ENABLE|gps.WATCH_RAW|gps.WATCH_NMEA, verbose=0)

that's because gpsd is not started.
it's strange that we still have /etc/init.d/gpsd....
