CREATE ZONEMINDER STARTUP SCRIPT
**If you don't know how to use vi then use nano instead for next stop**
vi /etc/init.d/zm
(PASTE THE FOLLOWING)
#!/bin/sh
# description: Control ZoneMinder as a Service
# chkconfig: 2345 99 99
# Source function library.
#. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
prog=ZoneMinder
ZM_PATH_BIN="/usr/local/bin"
command="$ZM_PATH_BIN/zmpkg.pl"
start() {
echo -n "Starting $prog: "
$command start
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && echo success
[ $RETVAL != 0 ] && echo failure
return $RETVAL
}
stop() {
echo -n "Stopping $prog: "
$command stop
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && echo success
[ $RETVAL != 0 ] && echo failure
}
status() {
result=`$command status`
if [ "$result" = "running" ]; then
echo "ZoneMinder is running"
RETVAL=0
else
echo "ZoneMinder is stopped"
RETVAL=1
fi
}
case "$1" in
'start')
start
;;
'stop')
stop
;;
'restart')
stop
start
;;
'status')
status
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart | status }"
RETVAL=1
;;
esac
exit $RETVAL
(SAVE AND EXIT)
MAKE ZM STARTUP SCRIPT EXECUTABLE
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zm
UPDATE /etc/rc.local TO START ZONEMINDER UPON REBOOT
vi /etc/rc.local
ADD THESE LINES:
#Start Zoneminder
/etc/init.d/zm start
I'm guessing you missed one of these steps in the instructions.

I tried several times but until I manually restart the service the source is still on the red

Yes! I've missed this step. Now working perfect.
Thanks.
