    Progress report:

    I can now get Scheduler to produce sound, but only when I start it up
    with campcaster-scheduler.sh in /opt/campcaster/bin instead of
    /etc/init.d/campcaster-scheduler.

    Does anyone know why there are two startup scripts and what the
    difference is supposed to be?

    Thanks,

    - John

    There shouldn't be any difference (well, the scripts are slightly
    different, they should both work the same way). What happens when you
    try to start it with /etc/init.d/campcaster-scheduler start?
