Check for the following line in either of the following files. /etc/rc.local
csh -cf '/command/svscanboot &' /etc/inittab SV:123456:respawn:/command/svscanboot To start it manually you should be able to run: csh -cf '/command/svscanboot &' If you do not see the respective lines in either of those files then you do not have it set to load on boot. Add the respective line to either the /etc/rc.local or /etc/inittab files. But don't add to both files or I think it will start 2 times when your server reboots. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Keuhs [mailto:and...@kdatasystems.net] Sent: Friday, April 03, 2009 10:50 AM To: toaster@shupp.org Subject: RE: [toaster] Supervise not running after ubuntu upgrade Why cant you just run: exec /command/svscanboot to start it manually?
