[Fnfx-users] Starting fnfxd on boot

[glenn g. <ric...@li...>]

I have been struggling with this for some time. I hope someone can get me fixed! Debian Sid 2.4.21-acpi on a Toshiba 490CDT laptop. While fnfx started after boot works great I'd really like it have it run automatically.  I have made root the owner of fnfxd and placed fnfxd into /etc/init.d:

glenn@zulu:/etc/init.d$ ls -al fnfxd
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        12944 Aug  6 07:09 fnfxd
glenn@zulu:/etc/init.d$ file fnfxd
fnfxd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Next I did update-rc.d fnfxd defaults which puts links into the appropriate /etc/rc?.d directories.  This should work- or at least it does for other scripts I want to run as root on boot.  Unfortunately the machine refuses to boot after this and I have to remove the symlinks to regain normal operation.  Has anyone gotten this script to run on boot?  Thanks for any ideas.
