Hello,
using openserctl to start/stop is obsolete, you have to use the init.d
script for you distribution. Here there are, in your source tree:
Debian: etc/openser.init
RH/Fedora: packaging/rpm/openser.init
Suse: openser.init.SuSE
Just copy this file in /etc/init.d/openser and then use:
/etc/init.d/openser start
/etc/init.d/openser stop
If you have a custom installation you may need to edit
'/etc/init.d/openser'.
Cheers,
Daniel
