Hi Steve,

yes there is a startup script and its executable bits are set.

When I run the script as you suggest it says:

zenzee@chuck:/usr/local/etc/rc.d% ./slimserver start
Starting slimserver.

But the server still doesn't run. When I run the program directly
./slimserver.pl --daemon

still nothing happens.
