Hi Guys,

I've just upgraded from 1.26.x to 1.27 using the nightly master. My /etc/init.d/zonminder script calls 'zmfix -a'. zmfix doesn't exist anywhere on my machine (Ubuntu 14.04). Is this an old startup script left over from my previous 1.26 setup or did something fail to install? Is there a script that will work better with 1.27?

I'm having some other issues with image display but I want to address this first as the cause might be related.

Thanks.....

I believe that zmfix is no longer used.

This init script should work for you but I have not used it on 14.04. You will at the least need to adjust ZM_PATH_BIN to point to where your ZM bins are located.

Let me know how the install on 14.04 works out.

zmfix was removed in v1.27
You can safely delete the line that runs zmfix and it should work.

Thanks but it doesn't work when I delete that line. I'm going to try the suggestion from linuxsense this weekend.

This worked perfectly. Thanks very much.
