Hi, Max, and thanks for getting back to me. I believe this issue is unrelated. The proper start and kill links were in place but the kill links were not working. I believe this is because the start function did not make an entry in /var/lock/subsys as described below. I do not know when RedHat began requiring this but adding the routine to the initialization scripts fixed the problem. Take care - John
