/usr/sbin/FOO not installed


That of course is the error I'm getting in the thread title. I am trying to run SlimServer on my SuSE install and it doesn't seem to be written very well. I'm trying to tweak it so all of it's scripts work instead of just a couple *shoo*. Anyways, the script called for
Code:
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
which of course my SuSE said wtf where be this file/folder.
I found somewhere to use
Code:
/etc/init.d/skeleton
and I get the error
Code:
/usr/sbin/FOO not installed
Please help a tired man, this is the longest I've ever been off windows heh. I sorta miss Microsoft Outlook 2k3

The skeleton file is a template you can use to setup your own SystemV type init file. You need to edit the file and change the variables that have FOO in them so they actually point to a program or daemon or config file. You need to have a pretty good understanding of the SystemV init process and also the program you are trying to start and it's configuration. A good thing to do is just look through some of the other files in the init.d directory.

Also dont edit the skeleton file, just make a copy called SlimServer and edit that.
