You probably need to add the init-script to the startup-list. This is done differently on various Linux-distros. Gentoo Linux uses a program to add scrits, so you would type "rc-udate add backuppc default". RedHat Linux- and Debian Linux-based distros use symlinks in /etc/rc3.d/ or /etc/rc2.d/ respectively. You can find your default init-level in /etc/inittab. Make a symlink from ../init.d/backuppc to this directory. Example (Debian): cd /etc/rc2.d/ ln -s ../init.d/backuppc S99backuppc ln -s ../init.d/backuppc K10backuppc -- Regards, Lars Tobias Børsting ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
