I have a demo version of SAP Netweaver running on Linux. I can't get it
to autostart using /etc/init/rc3.d (SuSE 9.2). In the script, which I
know is executing because of some echo commands, I have:

 su - nw4adm -c "startsap nw4host"

When the above command as root from the command line, it works, but not
as an auto-start. The man page for "su" says "-" creates a login shell,
assumedly for user nw4adm.

The message I get from the echo command is "no start profiles found",
which leads me to believe the that nw4adm user is not reading the .cshrc
file in its home directory (I'd prefer not to use the C-shell but don't
have a choice).

Can anyone give advice?
