Prev | Chapter 0. Welcome to INN 2.3! |
INN is started via the shell script rc.news. This must be run as the news user and not as root. To start INN on system boot, you therefore want to put something like:
su news -c /usr/local/news/bin/rc.news
in the system boot scripts. If innd is stopped or killed, you can restart it by running rc.news by hand as the news user.
FIXME: We really should provide a sample init script for people using System V-style init.d directories.
