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. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Darelle Ng email: [log in to unmask] Information Technology Services Phone: +61 3 9479 1609 La Trobe University Fax: +61 3 9479 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------
