I've attached the system startup script (for Slackware) which you could modify for your needs. It runs against servers at DAST & Grangenet (a local high performance network to which we're attached). Its run as user "beacon", whose home directory has "outputfiles" and "grangenet" directories for collection of stats. Most characteristics are set in beacon.conf as usual for the DAST server. Different settings for for the Grangenet server are specified as invocation options (in the start function). The beacons run on a single 2.8GHz P4 machine, using between 5-10% cpu each. chris
