I run Red hat Linux 7.3. I am creating a startup script for jabber. I
got some info and proceeded as follows:

I created this file as /etc/init.d/jabberd


#!/bin/sh

# chkconfig: 345 15 85
# description: Startup and shutdown script for Jabber open source
server.

JABBER_DIR=/usr/local/jabber-1.4. 3 /
export JABBER_DIR

case $1 in
'start' )
su - jabber -c "$JABBER_DIR/jabberd/jabberd &"
;;
'stop' )
kill `cat $JABBER_DIR/jabber.pid`
rm $JABBER_DIR/jabber.pid
;;
*)
echo "usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}"
esac



I then created a symbolic link (S96jabberd) to it in /etc/rc3.d

However its not working as jabber is not started and no error reported
as Linux starts. Anyone please help.
