Hi all!
since i had problems with running openser thru init.d script., i tried to
run it thru openserctl. however, the file /var/run/openser.pid is not found
there and it too was not running. so i started running openser with
/usr/local/sbin/openser start. it works fine this way. also since
/usr/local/sbin is in my PATH variable, i can directly type openser start
and this way also it runs. however, after starting openser, it does not
return the command prompt back. if i have to stop running openser, i have to
hit ctrl+c. there is no other way to stop it.... please let me know how to
start and stop openser directly (not thru init or openserctl because both of
them give me trouble). also how can i see which is the main pid of openser
as when i run the ps command , it shows me some 3-4 pids for different
subprocesses............

Thanks in advance,
Padmaja
