I'm trying to establish Firebird on SuSE 9.1 and have struck a blank (brain that is)
1. I'm logged in as root 2. /etc/sysconfig/firebird is a text file which I "found". It contains "START_FIREBIRD="yes" 3. ps -A shows no indication of firebird as a running service
Why is it so?
Any tips appreciated
Thanks
Mike
What version do you have ? I have 1.5.0.4290-0 Superserver installed. There was an init-script included (see /opt/firebird/misc).
Konrad - the version Yast claims is installed is 1.5.1.4481-0 and I have the /opt/firebird/misc/firebird.init.d.suse in my hot little hand - not that I know precisely what to do with it :(
Maybe I should link a special filename to it?

Make a link, or copy the file to /etc/init.d/ Maybe rename it to firebird, whatever you like. Then go in Yast, System, Runlevel Editor. You should see the name of the file in the list. Select it, and activate it (don't know what's on the button, because my version is in Dutch). Now Firebird should be running. Finalise Runlevel Editor, and Firebird should start running at every boot.
Fantastic - Thanks Konrad
