You need to check the script in /etc/init.d/avguard There should be a procedure there for shutting down the application. If I remember correctly, if you installed avguard from the instructions, it creates non-standard startup scripts that do not include the sysconfig options that tell it to start up and shutdown on system start and stop. You need to alter the configuration script to include these options. One very easy way to do this is simply to open up Webmin https://localhost:10000 if you have it installed and running. Go to System tab, click the Bootup and Shutdown icon. You will see a list of scripts that start and shutdown on boot. At the very bottom of that list you will see a series of scripts called avguard and avupdater. Click on one of them and it will give you a message that the initialization script has been improperly created and ask if you want to correct it. Choose yes and it will then create a single instance of the script. All done and you should not have any problems. You may want to do the same thing to the avupdater script. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
