Hi

I have a LiveCD installation, I do not know if installing it another way triggers ZM differently, I belive it could, but via command line on LiveCD, I can stop it by typing "service zm stop" and start it by typing "service zm start".

Regards!

Service zm start
and
service zm stop
or
service zm restart
All should work (They do on my CD anyway)
If you compiled the souce then you have to manualy install the zm script to init.d as detailed in the readme.
Cheers,

In Fedora and the like you can use chkconfig to set ZM to start up automatically. I'm sure there is an equivalent in other distros as well.
