What I usually do is look at the startup script and try to make a test script to get it running. Here is an example for starting courier-imap. Just copy it to a file and try to execute it as root: #!/bin/bash ADDRESS=0 MAXDAEMONS=10 MAXPERIP=10 PIDFILE=/var/run/imapd.pid TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup -noidentlookup" PORT=143 MAILDIR=.maildir exec_prefix=/usr /usr/lib/courier-imap/couriertcpd -address=$ADDRESS \ -stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/courierlogger \ -stderrloggername=imapd \ -maxprocs=$MAXDAEMONS -maxperip=$MAXPERIP \ -pid=$PIDFILE $TCPDOPTS \ $PORT ${exec_prefix}/sbin/imaplogin \ /usr/lib/courier-imap/courier-imapd.indirect ${MAILDIR} Jim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a geek, but I don't get it. 36-24-36 = -24.
