But when I do a 'service zm start', I get the following:
Starting ZoneMinder: /etc/init.d/zm: line 48: failure: command not found
Here is the code, just to assure you I have not fiddled with it; although that said there was no echo_success or echo_failure strings to replace! I presume this is because the documentation is for an older version of zoneminder. I have also indicated the line of code that seems to be causing the error:
Edit /etc/rc.d/zm with your favorite text editor (kwrite ?)
remove the line related to include functions
replace all occurences of echo_success by echo success
replace all occurences of echo_failure by echo failure
save the changes (ie :x!)
Hi there once again. I thought my problems were over but they are not. On a previous installation of zm, it only start sometimes but on the install I'm trying to do now it won't start at all. even though chkcconfig reports mysql, apache2 and zm as being 'on' something is not working correctly. When I issue the command chkconfig zm off it comes up with the following:
insserv: warning: script 'S02zm' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'zm' missing LSB tags and overrides
and when I do chkconfig zm on again, it comes up with
insserv: warning: script 'zm' missing LSB tags and overrides
I've used the LSB tags in my zm.init script included in the RPM. The tags are at the beginning of the file:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: zm
# Required-Start: mysql apache2 $syslog $remote_fs
# Required-Stop: mysql apache2 $syslog $remote_fs
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6
# Short-Description: starts the zone minder daemon
### END INIT INFO
This lines are used to determine the dependencies and default start/stop for the init script, e.g. which services should be enabled to start zm. This is very important because zm should start after mysql otherwise it cannot connect to the database. chkconfig uses this values to determine the correct start order and creates the links in the desired /etc/init.d/rc* directories.
The full init script can be found here http://liquid-co.de/pub/zm/scripts/zm.init (paths fits for the RPM if you want to use it you have to change them accordingly to your installation).

# Required-Start gibt an, welche Facilities zum Starten und Ausführen dieses Dienstes verfügbar sein müssen. Das Init-Skriptsystem sollte sicher stellen, dass die benötigten Facilities gestartet werden, bevor das anfragende Skript gestartet wird.
