daemon!!

[Bahman <ba...@online.no>]

Good day all!

Could you please help.

I am trying to run the james as daemon on RedHat 9 Linux. I have the latest
version of the james and found following files to make this daemon happen,
but it simply doesn't!!!!

the go.sh file is placed in the james/bin to run the run.sh

the james file is the file that will be placed in /etc/init.d and links in
the rc3 rc5 folders.

now when you type /etc/init.d/james start
it takes all the necessary steps and says it has started, but when you run
telnet myserver 4555 (or telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 110) you notice that it
hasn't start the james!!!!

now try typing james/bin/go.sh start

you will see that it works fine.

You could try the java services wrapper project, whose
purpose is to run java programs as a windows service
or  *nix daemon.

I have not read through your scripts, but ...

You should be using the "service" command, and I hope that you have been
properly using chkconfig.

Did you check the logs?  Was there an exception reported?  Were you root
when you started the process?
