You can try whereis smtpd to find out where it was installed on your system for example i did [EMAIL PROTECTED] dean]$ whereis xcdroast xcdroast: /usr/bin/xcdroast /etc/xcdroast.conf /usr/man/man1/xcdroast.1.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED] dean]$ * you can then either type in the entire path /usr/bin/xcdroast or cd /usr/bin ./xcdroast as ben said. * replace xcdroast with smtpd start ;) dean -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE976U+ppeRAf8wEb8RAmzwAKCBEZIQ42aiY87pcnzWWtV1qIwXbwCffLiC j6wW66gv181P4tMqnSJsAQM= =ZUh0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
