Hi Crist, I ran mergemaster and did an update of almost all scripts I hadn't changed, including /etc/defaults/rc.conf and /etc/rc I rebooted the server a minute ago, but the few scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d are still not being started. I'm going to look for the "$script_name_sep" which you pointed out before to see what's the problem. Do you have any clues about why they still won't start ? (I did let mergemaster copy the updated ones over the old ones; i didn't merge them so that should be ok) Gr, -- Axel Scheepers UNIX System Administrator email: axel@axel.truedestiny.net ascheepers@vianetworks.nl http://axel.truedestiny.net/~axel ------------------------------------------ A new dramatist of the absurd Has a voice that will shortly be heard.
