Starting a daemon at startup

[littonj]

I'm trying to use ntop www.us.ntop.org (http://www.us.ntop.org) and trying to get it to start at startup so I wrote a script that calls the command to start it as a daemon and it says it loaded ok during the startup screen but once linux loads it's not running any suggestions?

I can start it by hand just fine

Have you tried just putting the startup command line into /etc/rc.d/rc.local as a test?

When you say "start it manually", is that using your script or the ntop startup command?
