There is no simple answer to your question.
Most of the time, everything just continues to work. Sometimes
Yes, it was started with a script - the one described in this thread.
Unfortunately it only handles starting not stopping.

How does plug-in management (ie AlienBBC) work with SVN ? I assume I

Okay, answering my own post.
After 6 attempts of stopping and starting, it's finally going again.
Strange, this is exactly the same symptom I had on my RedHat EL box -
unresponsive browser, several attempts to restart it.
Noticed this showing when I started it in --diag mode, not sure if it's

svn is a "successor" to cvs.

Many thanks for the info. I must admit I've never heard of svn (I'm new
to Linux), so I'll go and RTFM. But that sounds promising.
I guess it's creating a symbolic link (slimserver) to a folder, the
contents of which will be updated when I run the svn up command. Is
that correct?
Many thanks!

Back on-track, now that I have it running, with the latest nightly

release is issued? SHould I convert the package with alien, rreinstall

Hello,
just a quick note that your squezze user shouldn't need to use bash at
all. I would replace
useradd squeeze -m -s /bin/bash
by
useradd squeeze -m -s /bin/false
It just depends on how paranoid you are I guess :-)

A combination of three posts here and in google, and I have it

I note 2 things:
1) Did you alias your slimserver directory so that you could simply use
/usr/local/slimserver? (Instead of /usr/local/SlimServer_v6.2.1 )
It'll make the rest of the howto work properly.
2) You should probably give a download directory instead of simply
hitting return. (I used
Actually, that's an issue with Ubuntu. It's aimed at the desktop user
and not devs. You need to apt-get (or Synaptic) all the tools needed
for building packages. (make, autoconf, automake, libtool, gcc, glibc,
g++, and who knows what else).

I would not have thought of a distro not having make installed.
Slimserver is now running well from the command line. Now if I could

Welcome to the Slim Devices perl module insta
Using the debian-based SimplyMEPIS distro
I just downloaded the tar.gz file (perl source code)
Extracted it to /home/username/slimserver

All of which goes to reinforce the point I made in a (long & boring)
thread on this very topic last year... apart from the RPM-based
distros, Linux Slimserver is for geeks only! I.e. not for general
consumption. That's why I went back to RH (well, FC4 actually) - just
for easy slimserver upgradeab
You only forgot to add the slimserver.pref to the /etc folder and
chown slimserver /etc/slimserver.pref
chmod 755 /etc/slimserver.pref
Otherwise it works nice.

Thanks for the Ubuntu instrux. I only ran into 1 snag in the process: I

You know there are a couple alternatives that I have not seen discussed
in the forums...
One is to install rpm on your debian box and installed the rpm package.
Problem with this is that debian will know nothing of this install.
