[omniORB] init.d/Mandrake and omniNames

[bjorn rohde jensen]

Hi Frederic,

  I am a bit puzzled by your problems getting omniNames
to run under the init.d/service scripts. I have had no
problems on my mandrake box. There are a few things,
you should consider though. First of all omniNames does
not fork a new process like most daemons do, so you
have to do that in the script. The trick with nohup
or something similar is needed and should work for you,
there is probably some other problem.
  Try to have a look at my omniNames script, maybe it
can help you.

Yours sincerely,

Bjorn
