Is this just a simple case that the install scripts for these two applications should have put the files mentioned into
/etc/init.d
instead of the place where they've been put?
The real scripts should be in /etc/init.d, *BUT* they need LSB compliant headers in order to work correctly. Have a loot at /etc/init.d/skeleton for how a LSB compliant init script should look like.
Philipp, I appreciate the assistance but you're talking to someone with a total exposure to Linux of 5 days - previous to that we're talking "right click, create shortcut, move to Windows/Start Menu". I have absolutely no idea about the internal structure of scripts and the extent of my experience is somewhat limited - I can move files around but scripting is currently completely beyond me. I'd ask what LSB was but even if you told me I'd still have no clue as to what to do with it.
Last I checked, WebWasher definitely did things an RPM for SuSE Linux (or rather a LSB compliant Distribution) should *not* do and I just guess that Communigate's RPM was also created for RedHat and will need modifications in order to run correctly on a LSB compliant system.
Do you have an URL for Communigate? I might find time to have a look at, if only to have another specimen for my 'how not to do it' collection.
Yep... It's http://www.stalker.com/cpro/default.html And as you assume, the RPM download for SuSE is a RedHat RPM. -- Russ
