You may want to consider using daemontools: http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html Starting/stopping/controlling the daemon doesn't require that you fiddle with inittab, init.d files, etc. As such, it is portable across all flavors of Unix/Linux. Also, once root installs daemontools for you, you don't need root privileges to control the daemon. I've used daemontools to control AOLserver for years now, and it's incredibly robust. If you're using Debian or FreeBSD, there is a Debian package for this on the "mothership". I don't know about RPM versions, but I imagine they exist. Anyway, it's pretty simple to make install from source. ...Edmund. _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors.
