Funambol

Starting the server:

---

/opt/Funambol/bin/funambol start

Setting up the init script:

---

cp $FUNAMBOL_HOME/bin/funambol /etc/init.d/funambol

Open the newly copied script in a text editor and change the following line:

FUNAMBOL_HOME=`(cd .. ; pwd)`

to:

FUNAMBOL_HOME=`(cd $FUNAMBOL_HOME ; pwd)`

This points the script to the absolute location of your installation.

Create a symbolic link to your rc3.d directory using this command:

ln -s /etc/init.d/funambol /etc/rc3.d/S30funambol
