The '/bin/false' at the end means that your otrs user doesn't have a  
login shell associated, so 'su otrs' shouldn't get you a shell as  
user otrs. (You could run 'su -s /bin/bash - otrs' to change to user  
otrs and get a bash shell.) I don't know about OpenSuSE, but on RHEL/ 
CentOS I can just run 'service otrs start' (as root) to start the  
OTRS cron jobs. Doesn't the SuSE RPM install a file called /etc/ 
init.d/otrs?

Continued by RT - Christian - OpenSUSE:

With Open SUSE I use "./otrs start" to run the service,
and yes your correct, the /etc/init.d/orts does exist as well.

Here are the results when I attempted to start otrs.  Also, otrs is
running and runnign well I might add, so when you see the info below
you'll see why I mentioned this.

Ok, soooo... I can access and use OTRS, but when it attempts to start,
it says Apache is not running?? Ok??
