20 June 2005 Communicating with the original poster confirmed that this issue was never resoved. Will this be fixed in time for 2.2.3RC? Koha should not require a switch not supported by the Free BSD su command. Programmers should not use switches that are not universally supported if that can be avoided The original thread is quoted below Thomas D ------------------------------------------- Date: Sat Apr 2 15:20:23 NZST 2005 From: "Karl Agee" <kdagee2@yahoo.com> Subject: [Koha] question launching z3950 daemon To : koha@lists.katipo.co.nz ------------------------------------------- Well, I found out what is going on. The script is calling a shell for the z3950 daemon: su -s /bin/sh -c $KohaZ3950Shell - $RunAsUser & and my version of su in freebsd doesnt support that option (-s). How would I modify the script so that it does??? Does the program need it???? --karl --- Karl Agee <kdagee2 at yahoo.com> wrote:

I get:

Looks like your shell thinks you typed in "su -s" -- for some reason. But don't you have a /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts directory? The date after the "scripts" (scripts200503291957) indicates that it's a backup from a previous install and not your current install.

-su-2.05b# locate z3950-daemon-launch.sh

/usr/home/kdagee/koha-2.2.0/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-launch.sh

/usr/home/kdagee/koha-2.2.1/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-launch.sh

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/z3950-daemon-launch.sh

/usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-launch.sh

/usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts200503291957/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-launch.sh

# cd /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon

-su-2.05b# ls processz3950queue z3950-daemon-options z3950-daemon-launch.sh z3950-daemon-shell.sh

-su-2.05b# ./z3950-daemon-launch.sh -su-2.05b# su: illegal option -- s usage: su [-] [-flm] [-c class] [login [args]]

-su-2.05b# sh z3950-daemon-launch.sh -su-2.05b# su: illegal option -- s usage: su [-] [-flm] [-c class] [login [args]]

-su-2.05b# cd ~

-su-2.05b#

/usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-launch.sh

-su-2.05b# su: illegal option -- s usage: su [-] [-flm] [-c class] [login [args]]

ok, so, why would bash give me this error? I've never seen it before. I get this if I put the startup scripts folder (via a soft link) as well.

only thing I can think of:

-su-2.05b# ls -la

/usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-launch.sh

-rwxr-xr-x 1 www www 2750 Mar 29 19:57

/usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-launch.sh

user/group www is the apache user......is this correct?

The only thing I see in the page source is a reference to a javascript thing for z3950. Does this launch the daemon?
