Graham,

I could not get Listserv 14.5 to work with Solaris_10. I had to use
Solaris_9. Everything works properly in Soalris_9.

Subject: Problem starting ListServ via init script

Hello,

I am running a Solaris 10 box.

When I restarted the box, the script that runs ListServ doesn't load 
properly, hence preventing all of the other rc3 init scripts from 
loading properly.

The script will run properly if I run it from the command line.

Here is part of the output from 
/var/svc/log/milestone-multi-user-server:default.log:

Here is the init script:

if [ ! -d ${LISTSERV_DIR} ]    
then            # /local not mounted ??
        exit 0
fi       
 
case "$1" in
    'start')   
        /usr/bin/printf "Starting Listserv..."
        /usr/bin/su - listserv -c "cd $LISTSERV_DIR && ./go bg"
        /usr/bin/printf "done.\n"
        ;;
         
    'stop')  
        /usr/bin/printf "Stopping listserv..."
        PID=`/usr/bin/cat ${LISTSERV_PID}`
        kill $PID
        /usr/bin/printf "done.\n"
        ;;
    *) 
        echo ${USAGE}
        exit 1
        ;;
esac     


Thanks in advance!
