Getting ZM to start zoneminder serice on boot.

[daveleebond]

Having a bit of trouble with this, apart from that all working fine with 2 cameras

Running Ubuntu 10.4 32bit desktop.

zm installed via app manager.

Have tried this form Vicktoe Peterson's guide.

Code: Select all

Install the startup-script (from the official site):
sudo wget http://viktorpetersson.com/upload/zm -O /etc/init.d/zm
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/zm
sudo update-rc.d zm defaults
sudo /etc/init.d/zm start

nada

Installed BUM, but means nothing to me even read the guide, yes I a quite new to Linux.

Any pointers are most welcome. but for now just have to manually start from a terminal or through the zm console.

It's also in a remote location, my dads, but have access via VNC.

update
keep getting this error:

Code: Select all

Starting ZoneMinder: /etc/init.d/zm: 56: /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl: not found
failure

Hi,
I assume you have your zm scripts in /usr/local/bin list this
