No, It starts only one instance of ax25ipd.
The second call is in case ax25ipd will not be able to connect 
immediately to remote ip stations, it only gives it a second chance. 
Otherwise, the system would have to wait for one more hour until the 
script starts again.

By the way, I had to introduce a small patch into ax25ipd source code 
for it would fail if a LAN connexion through UDP port is not reachable, 
All the AXIP system would lock and thus FPAC.

The patch is in io_error() routine.

                         exit(2);
                 } else if (mode == UDP_MODE) {
                         syslog(LOG_ERR, "reading from udp socket, 
%s\n", strerror(errno));
//                      perror("reading from udp socket");
//                      exit(2);
                 } else if (mode == TTY_MODE) {

In case of read error, ax25ipd will keep on trying to read, instead of 
aborting.
