Just adapt the Agent's path and go ..

Could someone give me step by step instructions for where to put this script and how to set it up so that it will run automatically when I boot up at run level 3? If you haven't guessed, I'm new at this Linux thing and though I kinda understand the whole thing, I guess I'm missing a piece because for the life of me I can't get this to work. Thanks,

This creates a symbolic link in your runlevel folder, which points to the script. The S91 prefix tells your system to start the agent right after XMail, which typically has S90 as prefix. The magic here is, that all filenames inside the runlevel folder are executed in alphabetical order. -------------------- Bye, Harald -- Download XMail Queue Manager 1.46 NOW: XMail Server Tools -- Cross platform remote queue management! -- Message analyzing on the fly! -- Builtin diagnostics knowledge base! -- Manages multiple mail queues!

In most distributions, this file (name it xqmagent) needs to go to
/etc/rc.d/init.d

cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
chmod 755 xqmagent
cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/xqmagent S91xqmagent

Then reboot.

This creates a symbolic link in your runlevel folder, which points to the script.
The S91 prefix tells your system to start the agent right after XMail, which typically has S90 as prefix. The magic here is, that all filenames inside the runlevel folder are executed in alphabetical order.

Hi,

That worked, to a point, but it failed with a "no such file or directory" when it tried to come up on the reboot.

My xqmagent directory is /var/xqmagent, the AGENT_ROOT looks correct. Otherwise the script is exactly as posted here.

Any ideas?

Joe

Make sure that - the 1st line of the script starts with #! and is not blank, - that sh exists in your /bin folder and - you don't use non-Unix lineendings in the case you've edited the script on Windows. -------------------- Bye, Harald -- Download XMail Queue Manager 1.46 NOW: XMail Server Tools -- Cross platform remote queue management! -- Message analyzing on the fly! -- Builtin diagnostics knowledge base! -- Manages multiple mail queues!

Make sure that

- the 1st line of the script starts with #! and is not blank,
- that sh exists in your /bin folder and
- you don't use non-Unix lineendings in the case you've edited the script on Windows.

Non-Unix line endings it was........

Everything works now except that when I run it from the command line it takes a good minute from the point it says Daemonized before it gives me back the command line.

Takes a long while when booting up too, but finally makes it through.

Thanks for your help.

It starts scanning the queue on teh very first startup, which can take some time depending on your hardware. -------------------- Bye, Harald -- Download XMail Queue Manager 1.46 NOW: XMail Server Tools -- Cross platform remote queue management! -- Message analyzing on the fly! -- Builtin diagnostics knowledge base! -- Manages multiple mail queues!
