Thanks for the reply, Dave.
The default run level is 3.
The links created are:
ln -s ../init.d/svscan S89svscan
in rc3.d and rc5.d
ln -s ../init.d/svscan K12svscan
in rc0.d rc1.d rc2.d and rc6.d
Yes, I made a mistake at the end of my email. It should read:
If I go into the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory and type
./svscan start
./qmail start
it all runs perfectly. (I was trying to make the point that the scripts seem
to be fine because they work manually.)
It must be something else that I am doing dumb!
Cheers
Neil

Which links did you create=3F What is your default runlevel=3F

Well, that shouldn't work. The "qmail start" will only work if svscan
(and supervise) is already running. Perhaps you're not starting svscan
first.
