Can you provide a link to the exact RPM that you downloaded? Is it an RPM built for SUSE? I haven't run SUSE in a while and I don't remember how it's init scripts are set up. Something I am curious about, do you have a /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file? If not I'm guessing that init script is targeted for Red Hat.

no the slimserver shellscript is the only thing in /etc/rc.d/init.d I got the rpm from
http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/Sl ... noarch.rpm

I did a rpm -Uvh direct from that URL
I got it working had to run the slimserver.pl --daemon instead of the script since the script was meant for redhat ...
