hi,

i have a chat server installed on my server and it takes the following commands to get it started using ssh.

QUOTE

cd /home/virtual/site6/fst/var/www/html/tbot Server

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/bin/java -classpath /home/virtual/site6/fst/var/www/html/tbot Server

then i would press Cntrl+Z

bg 1

is there a way i can have the server to do this automatically? i am not very good with linux. Thank you in advance. My server is ensim basic 4.0.3.

why do you cd into that directory first? as long as your using full path calls... its all good.

put this in rc.local

CODE

# running tbot server

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/bin/java -classpath /home/virtual/site6/fst/var/www/html/tbot Server &

then restart and see if it worked =)
the ampersand means go to the bg... saves u that whoe ctrl+z and bg 1 stuff.

for some reason it has to be restarted from the directory. It wouldnt work any other way.. i dont know why.. the chat people also said i must cd into the directory also. .

infact i just tried starting it outside the directory and it said

ERROR - The file 'contenttypes.txt' is missing or cannot be read

so it seems like it need the files from that directory.. weird.
