	My prsvr keeps aborting from when called within the /etc/rc.user
	file. When I run the same command with the same config file
	all goes great. I have tried cpo, cps, and /bin/nohup in front
	of the command below, but with no success in keeping the sucker
	alive from bootup.
	
	/sys/hardcopy/prsvr /sys/hardcopy/hp_config &
	
	The prmgr and prsvr are both on the same machine.
	and the prmgr stays alive. HP/Apollo doesn't seem
	to be much help.
	
	It's running on a DN-4500 with Domain OS 10.2
	
	
	Thanks in advance.

Two things I can think of:

   1) the process that you are running in the background from the /etc/rc.user file will run
      as user.server. What we have found is that you need to make group server an owner for
      all files in /sys/hardcopy/drivers and /sys/mgrs before the print server will run under
      user.server. Don't forget to change the initial file acls in the drivers and mgrs directories.

   2) starting a print server in the RC.USER file has never seemed to be consistent since SR10.2. 
      My best guess is that the print server starts before the line is initialized (or something of
      the sort) and the initialization aborts the prsvr. Just a guess though.
