Hi Steve The file permissions look fine and I see that you're running the chkconfig command as root - I can't see why its not working! You can add the script using ksysvinit. If you haven't used ksysvinit before, after starting the program click the Help menu and read the basics there - its not as hard as it looks but be careful not to change anything else. To add the script you will need to place it in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ Perhaps thats why chkconfig isn't working? I guess you could place the script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and then try chkconfig --add ... again. Cheers Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today
