I have successfully installed and tested the jabber server 1.4.2 and it just works fine. Now I am facing one problem. Whenever I restart my server I have to start jabber server manually. I tried putting the script in /etc/init.d/ and running it again but it didnt work. How do I make my Jabber server startup on boot automatically???
I need help please. I am stuck. I tried looking on the net. but couldnt find anything.
Can anyone help???
I have tried putting the following script as /etc/init.d/jabber
but it doesnt work. Help me please

#!/bin/sh

else
exit 0

if you still look for asolution, it might help you to say that
/var/run/jabber/process.pid remains undeleted after the daemon dies...
I saw this problem too....
Could you send me your config file? I couldn't manage to make it work (local LAN, no DNS)...
this is my message was posted by me on debianhelp :

Did anybody managed to configure and make jabber work?
I busted my brains trying to configure it to make it work for about 7 (seven) hours, and all I could get was successfully registering users, BUT the users fail to log in....
I tried various clients: gaim(woody), gaim(windows), jajc(windows), gabber(woody), everybuddy, konverse....
I used the woody version of jabber, as I plan deploying a stable server, could the backported version of jabber do the deal?
for configuration I used by hand editing and also webmin, in none of the attempts I managed to make it work.....
:-(
you're using redhat right? why not just put the jabber command you want into the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file? and if that pid file is a problem, you can check for it and use the rm command to delete that file before calling jabber, all inside that script that redhat provides for convenience.
