Sorry, i would like to sayd how to start it on boot…

I usually placed a small script in my GUI. I now use bittorrent exclusively.
Here’s a script you can place in /etc/init.d
http://www.ctserver.org/ftopic3.html
chmod 755 name.of.script
chkconfig name.of.script on

Good luck.

It has worked for 2 times, then something has happen. Have a look here:

muletto:/etc/init.d # chkconfig mlnet off
insserv: warning: script ‘S01mlnet’ missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script ‘mlnet’ missing LSB tags and overrides
muletto:/etc/init.d # chkconfig mlnet on
insserv: warning: script ‘mlnet’ missing LSB tags and overrides
muletto:/etc/init.d #

I can start it in this way :/etc/init.d/mlnet start
but i don’t get it starting on boot :frowning:

  • Mar91,

I assume sonething is wrong in the header of the script. Check /etc/init.d for a skeleton script and compare. Or try and activate the script through Yast’s runlevel editor.

After have deleted all several times and reactivate the script i had no problem, and finally mldonkey starts as $USER on boot.
