That's intentional. -d is for debugging only. > now I want to make it start up everytime when I boot, and last forever. Use inetd or xinetd for this. That's explained in the man page (man saned) and at the saned homepage: http://home.nexgo.de/jochen.eisinger/saned/ > I'm using redhat linux 7.1, seems the FAQ only cover 7.0. the > interface looks different Are you talking about the SANE FAQ? > I did put this line to my /etc/services > sane 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon Ok. > I did create the user saned Ok. > I put a sane start up code in > > /etc/init.d/sane > which contain only 1 line. > /usr/local/sbin/saned Why? This can't work. If you start saned without "-d", it will wait for data on stdin. This only works with xinetd or inetd. Put it into the configuration file (or directory) of xinetd or inetd, whatever RedHat 7.2 ships with. > sane show up in kde's SysInitV editor, but starting the service > doesn't work. You can't start saned from the init scripts. Bye, Henning
