Installated fine, but get strange error on reboot?

[JamesX]

Hi

After following the Wiki "Ubuntu 6.06 Alternative" installation instructions I have ZoneMinder working fine on my PC, however I have noticed that after rebooting and pressing "Ctrl+Alt+F8" to see the boot log I see the following strange error:

Code: Select all

Starting ZoneMinder: Success

touch: cannot touch '/var/lock/subsys/zm' : No such file or directory

Does anyone know what this means and is it an issue?, and if so how do I solve it as I for the life of me can't find anything in the forums or via Googling?

Cheers, JamesX...

I don't know a lot about Ubuntu, but does the /var/lock/subsys directory exist?

Remove (or comment out) the following two lines in your zm init.d file (/etc/init.d/zm )
# [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/zm

# [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/zm

This will remove that error and will have no ill effect.
