Start Domino 6.5 with RedHat 8.0

I have set the domino script to run as a start up script, and i followed all the steps defined in the Domino for Linux redbook. However the server does not start and when i start it manually, the script does not stop the server. here is an error that i get when i try to stop it"Executing /etc/rc.d/init.d/domino stop …

Stopping domino:

Could not find ‘notes.ini’ in Current Directory or PATH

stty: standard input: Invalid argument

"

the notes.ini path is correct, in the script.

is there anythink i can do?
