Greetings,
I am developing a daemon application to handle datalogger communications.
I have developed the init script that is included at the bottom of this
mail based upon examples that I found on the web. This script runs very
well from the command line. However, when I attempt to use the gnome
server configuration tool to start csilgrnet, the tool locks up and has to
be aborted. I have searched in vain for guidelines for writing init
scripts and have no idea what the gui is looking for and not finding. Any
assistance or advise would be gratefully accepted.

For a guide to writing them, look at the documentation for the
initscipts package. The file you are looking for is called
sysvinitfiles.

I found the above referenced file and have studied it in detail. I
thank you.
My original problem remains, however. That is, I can execute my script
on the command line to start and stop the daemon process. If, however,
I attempt to start the daemon using the services configuration GUI
provided by gnome, the gui will lock up and I will have to kill it to
close it. I have found, through experimentation, that, if the gui is in
this locked state, I can actually bring it out by running the script
from the command line to shut the daemon down. The gui will then pop up
a dialogue indicating that the daemon has been started.
I am convinced that my script is finishing because I can see evidence
that the lock file is being generated by the call to touch. Again,
there is absolutely no problem when this script is run from the command
line or when I am starting or stopping the run level.
