Hi Jefferey,
Thanks so much for your help! This looks like it will work out great:)
I am a new user using Ubuntu at school, as I usually use the Mac OS X
at home. So far I really like it. The current machine is used by
multiple people(students, teachers, me), and this will come in handy.
I just put the file colsfusion in /etc/init.d/ really just copied
and paste what you have here. This will start the CF server on system
init? yep the install names are the same /opt/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion
Thanks so much for your help:)
