You *might* try using this instead, and see if the lack of redirection starts making it work: ls:235:respawn:/home/listserv/go bg You probably also want to check /home/listserv/listserv.log and see if you have any error messages in there.... (Note that you probably want to start it at run levels 2 and 3 as well as 5...) > The other question is I am receiving an email with following text.

The problem is that *you* are server number 975, and you haven't gotten a copy of the intpeers.names file that lists you as a peer. Contact the nice folks at [log in to unmask] and tell them I said you need to be set up for automatic updates of the names files. ;) Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
