cd /usr/share/assp
At this point I am ready to start ASSP for the first time.
Start assp
perl assp.pl
If there are no errors go ahead and stop ASSP, type in at command prompt.
ctrl-c
To have ASSP start during bootup
Create start|shutdown script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/assp
Create a file called assp.
vi /etc/rc.d/init.d/assp (Copy and paste script below.)
There is also a new startup script which could be found here, I haven't tried this one yet.
Script obtained from ASSP forum:
