Hi folks,

I realize this has been talked about, but I still can't find out the
answer to my grief.
This script (which is commonplace for redhat and mandrake users) is
hanging immediately following
"Connecting to DNS2GO..."

...here's the script...

#!/bin/sh
#START OF SCRIPT
#Cut & paste in /etc/rc.d/init.d/dns2go

# dns2go This script starts or stops an DNS2GO connection

# description: Connects to Dynamic Name Server

# Source function library if it exists
test -r /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions && . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

prefix=/usr/local/bin
exec_prefix=${prefix}

# Paths to programs
START=${exec_prefix}/dns2go
STOP=${exec_prefix}/dns2go
STATUS="/bin/cat /var/dns2go/status.dat"
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Connecting to DNS2GO"

$START
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
touch /var/lock/subsys/dns2go
echo_success
else
echo_failure
fi
echo ""
;;

stop)
echo -n "Shutting down DNS2GO link"

$STOP -k > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/dns2go
echo_success
else
echo_failure
fi
echo ""
;;

restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;

status)
$STATUS
;;

*)
echo "Usage: dns2go {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
esac

exit 0

Now, if I run dns2go manually it fires up fine, but if I have it
running as a service, it hangs. Anybody run into this before?

Cheers.
