here's a script i use for starting/stopping/restart cyrus on my redhat server.
copy and paste this into a file in /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d/init.d depending on you system, call the file cyrus or whatever makes you happy. chown root.root /etc/init.d/cyrus chmod u+x /etc/init.d/cyrus cd /etc/rc3.d ln -s ../init.d/cyrus S99cyrus ln -s ../init.d/cyrus K99cyrus you might need to modify some of the path names if you've installed cyrus outside of the default locations. if you where running this on a solaris 7 or 8 system you could use /usr/bin/pkill instead of /usr/bin/killall and you'd want to place the rc script in /etc/rc2.d instead of rc3.d. enjoy --BEGIN COPY-- #!/bin/sh # # Start/Shut for cyrus master server process # case "$1" in 'start') if [ -f /etc/cyrus.conf ] ; then echo "Starting Cyrus Master Process" /usr/cyrus/bin/master 1> /dev/console 2>&1 & fi ;; 'stop') echo "Shutting down Cyrus Master Process" /usr/bin/killall master 1>/dev/console 2>&1 ;; 'restart') echo "Restarting Cyrus Master Process" /usr/bin/killall -HUP master 1>/dev/console 2>&1 ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 { start | restart | stop }" ;; esac exit 0 --END COPY-- Jeff Bert wrote: > > I know this is a newbie question but with all I had to do to get cyrus > installed my brain hurts... what's a good way to get cyrus started at boot? > > thanks, > > Jeff -- Darin Perusich Unix Systems Administrator Cognigen Corp.
