Thanks aabreu2005, I appreciate it - unfortunatly it's all greek to me.
I'll start doing some more research into this as it currently makes no sense. I can start zimbra with a single command, from a specific user, so I dont understand why I cant do it like in DOS, simply adding the lines
Code:
su zimbra
zmcontrol start
to the end of an existing file (autoexec.bat in the case of DOS)
I know things are different in linux, different is fine, does it have to be hard too?
