Douglas, I have attached a script, for Red Hat, that will allow you to treat Cyrus like any other service, and control its behavior using run level editing tools. Simply copy this file into /etc/rc.d/init.d and make sure it has the same perms as everything else in the directory. Then you can run "setup" and select "system services" and this will show up. Also, you can type "service cyrus start" and "service cyrus stop" from the command line. -John "Kevin J.
