How does zmtrigger.pl start automatically?

I need to allow external triggers (from Axis cameras) using TCP. Even though I have the OPT_TRIGGERS checked in the options, it appears that zmtrigger.pl is not running! I checked running processes (ps ax) and ports in use (netstat -an) and no sign of zmtrigger. The zmdc.log shows that zmtrigger.pl starts, but then stops with status 9. Why?

If I start zmtrigger manually, I see it run and listen on port 6802 as expected, and stay running. My question is, how do I prevent it from stopping?

I have ZM 1.24.2 running on FC13 in case that matters.

Thank you!
(I'm getting closer!!!)
