Hi, in the init script I do the following : INSTANCE=default FIREBIRD=/usr/lib/firebird MANAGER=$FIREBIRD/bin/fbmgr.bin .... start) echo -n "Starting $FULLNAME " daemon --user=$FBRunUser export FIREBIRD LD_LIBRARY_PATH;echo; $MANAGER -pidfile $pidfile -start -forever RETVAL=$? [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$name echo ;; but is seems that the OK come too fast, certainly after the "export" not the "$MANAGER -pidfile $pidfile -start -forever" -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
