Hello, New to Hobbit... I cannot start hobbit via the service command. When I try I get the following error: I type: service hobbit start Error is: Starting hobbit: su:/bin/bash permission denied.

When I tried to do this manually it works fine.

#su - c "/usr/lib/hobbit/service/hobbit.sh start" - hobbit

Any help is much appreciated

Mike

Here is my /etc/init.d/hobbit.sh file:

#! /bin/sh

hobbit This shell script takes care of starting and stopping

hobbit(the Hobbit network monitor)
