No one seems to have mentioned this, so I will. It's important to use /sbin/service rather than running /etc/init.d scripts directly for other reasons than its convenience. Namely, it properly sanitizes your environment so a program started that way behaves just as if really started by init at system boot time. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
