[Serusers] SER Startup --

[Steve Phillips]

When you say you "created" /etc/init.d/ser, how exactly did you create
this, can you post a copy of this script to me (off list)

What OS are you running (Linux Distribution and version - i.e - RedHat 8,
Debian X.Y.Z, etc etc - NOTE: this is GNU/linux/UNIX distribution, not
kernel version)

Also, keep in mind that the "ln" was not a "do this and it will magically
work" - it requires that the ser startscript conforms to standards as laid
out by your OS, what sort of messages do you get from typing

hostname:~# /etc/init.d/ser start

and

hostname:~# /etc/init.d/ser stop

Are there any error messages in /var/log/messages ?

(cat /var/log/messages | grep ser)

if you have chkconfig then please use this - also, try sending the output
of chkconfig --list ser

May also pay to include the version of ser you are running..

Need more information sorry :-)
