First, I can't speak highly enough about Webmin, for taming the linux beast. Here's the init.d script it created when I created a new startup action running the zope start script (you can see the param's and output redirection I added, etc.): #!/bin/sh # description: start Zserver # chkconfig: 2345 99 00 case "$1" in 'start') echo "starting Zope... " /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.3.3/start -u zope -p - -W 8081 \ -a 127.0.0.1 -t 20 \ &> /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.3.3/var/log/startup.log & touch /var/lock/subsys/zope ;; 'stop') echo "Stopping Zope..." /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.3.3/stop rm -f /var/lock/subsys/zope ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }" ;; esac exit 0

I'm still unable to get Zope to start by itself using RedHat 7.1 and scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d. When one executes a script from the command line, it works, but when one lets the system execute the same script during boot, it fails. Can someone help me? I'm at a loss. Thanks Carl David david@uconnvm.uconn.edu
