Here is a script that I use. Copy it to /etc/init.d/james.sh
#!/bin/sh
# update-rc.d james.sh start 50 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 .
# update-rc.d james.sh stop 50 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 .
# description: Apache James Server
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java
export
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar
case "$1" in
'start')
/path/to/james/james-2.3.1/bin/phoenix.sh start
;;
'stop')
/path/to/james/james-2.3.1/bin/phoenix.sh stop
;;
'restart')
/path/to/james/james-2.3.1/bin/phoenix.sh restart
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart }"
;;
esac
exit 0

Adjust the paths to whatever is on your machine. You can copy and paste
the two "update-rc.d" lines and run them as root to get the script to
run James automatically upon startup.

Hi all
Thanks for the replies. Following them I have removed (commented out) the line
from the inetd.conf file and that freed up my ports 110 and 25. Let me explain
what I am trying to do - it is simply that I want James to start up as a daemon
when the system starts. After abandoning inetd.conf I was looking at how to
invoke run.sh from rc?.d - is that the right direction? What do I need to do to
get it right? Thanks again for your help..

I don't think I understand what exactly you are trying
to do. You have
configured inetd to start james? It doesn't look like a
good idea.
Can you please show us the line from your inetd.conf where
you have
configured james? Also any other lines from inetd.conf that
start with
pop or smtp.

I have already de-selected the default server and am
running my james server from inetd.conf.. the netstat gives
this line:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 2670/inetd
how to tell inetd to leave that port alone?
Thanks

Hi Sunil,
Login as root to your system and run the command
"netstat -pan | grep
":110" | grep LISTEN". It will show
you
which pid/programm name is using
the port 110.
Probably the default installation of your system
has a
mailer already
running. You will have to disable it from the init
scripts
of your system.

Sorry this might be a newbie question - i
searched in
google for days but found nothing that helped ok
straight to
the point:
I downloaded james 2.3.1 and it runs just
great when i
disable the default mail/pop server and run james
from the
command. However I am stuck while trying to make
james as
the default. I put the run command in inetd.conf
and when I
telnet port 110 it shows me the startup messages -
hardly
what you expect from a pop3 server - before
finally dumping
java stack for bind error. So it looks like some
program is
watching 110 and invoking my server each time. Now
what kind
of OS does things like that
Anyway I am hoping this is already a pretty
familiar
problem so I will wait for a solution thanks to
all in
advance
Sunil
