Greetings: I'm upgrading my server from 8.2 to 9.0 and in the process I found that Dns2go has a newer client. Unfortunately they made changes that caused my startup/stop script to not function correctly any longer. The old client could be killed by issuing a %path%/dns2go -k command. But that no longer works because they don't start the client as a forked process any longer and the -k command now specifies your Dns2go key from the command line upon startup.
So I'm trying to create a new script that will start the process in the background and keep it running even if the terminal it is started from is terminated. Would it be better to start it with "nohup %path%/dns2go &" and then kill it with "killall dns2go" or would it be better to try and use the functions that are used in other Mandrake startup scripts like "daemon %path%/dns2go" and "killproc %path%/dns2go"? Better yet does anyone have a current working script they could mail a copy of to the list? I've done a little tinkering on this and tried it both ways but I haven't gotten it to work as cleanly as I'd like. It'll launch but it gives me warnings/errors or won't free up the terminal properly or exits when I exit the terminal. I am on the newbie and expert mailing lists and I've searched my archive of the messages but didn't see this addressed with these new versions. I haven't been successful with Google nor the Dns2go site either. Cordially, Scott Sprunger __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
