Thanks Al, I managed to get it working. I had to add the --user and then the username the process was running under to stop it. Basically it now starts the process as root, then changes to a different user. All seems to be working now when I try and start the init script from root from the shell, so it's getting there. Now I have to figure out why it won't start at boot (when entering runlevel 2). I've linked the init.d scripts into files S20icecast-stream1...2... and so on and even added them to /etc/rc.local but they're not starting at boot. Not to worry, I'm making progress. I'm going to call it a night now and look at it tomorrow after sleeping on it. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
