You should, instead, create a start/stop script for in /etc/rc.d/init.d - a good approach would be to copy one of the scripts there and modify it accordingly. Then do: # chckconfig --add cam or whatever you call your script # service cam start to start it now I suspect the issue you're seeing with putting it in inittab is that /home might not be mounted at the time your application starts. You may also want to think about the security issues with running your webcam as a root user. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
