Hi David, Do we need to fix your problems before we fix my problem?
By the way, I've been poking around to see how other init scripts deal with the fact that /var/run is flushed after every reboot. This is how /etc/init.d/klogd makes sure that it has a subdirectory in /var/run: case "$1" in start) log_begin_msg "Starting kernel log daemon..." # create klog-writeable pid and fifo directory mkdir -p /var/run/klogd chown klog:klog /var/run/klogd mkfifo -m 700 $kmsgpipe chown klog:klog $kmsgpipe And this is how /etc/init.d/slony1 does it: prepare_start() { mkdir -p /var/run/slony1 \ && chown postgres:postgres /var/run/slony1/ \ && chmod 2775 /var/run/slony1/ } So, it does not look like a standard method exists. I would like to get some really good sysadmins to help us with this. There really should be a standard way to do this.
