Subject: starting listserv automatically on an OSF/1 machine

I did not receive any response last time. I thought I try again.
 
I have managed to start listserv automatically by set uid and gid but I
still have problems such as:
 
- I reboot the server a lot of times to make sure that listserv starts
automatically everytime it reboots but listserv will only reboot the first
time and another reboot will not start it. If I reboot a few hours later, it
will start it.
 
Does anyone know what is wrong? I would be very grateful if someone can help
me out as I cannot move across my Majordomo controlled lists over to
Listserv when I'm not sure whether it will come up after a reboot.
 
I'm running Listserv 1.8b on a DEC Alpha v3.2.
 
Thanks.
