+README.Slackware
+================
+
+This file contains some specific instructions to complete the
+installation of zabbix_java_gateway on Slackware.
+
+zabbix_java_gateway can run on the same host as zabbix_server, or not.
+
+0) Before running the SlackBuild script
+---------------------------------------
+
+0.1) zabbix group & user
+
+Before running the zabbix_java_gateway.SlackBuild script, you will need to create
+the 'zabbix' user and group. The script won't run if these do not exist.
+
+The suggested UID and GID is 228, but you can change this as needed:
+
+ # groupadd -g 228 zabbix
+ # useradd -u 228 -g zabbix -d /dev/null -s /bin/false zabbix
+
+1) Configuring zabbix_java_gateway
+----------------------------------
+
+Very complete documentation is available online at:
+ https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/
+
+For those in a hurry, here are some basic steps to get zabbix up &
+running:
+
+1.4) zabbix_java_gateway configuration file
+
+A standard configuration file is installed as /etc/zabbix/zabbix_java_gateway.conf
+
+You will need to change at least the following lines:
+
+2) Start & Stop scripts for zabbix java gateway
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+2.1) Automatic startup and shutdown
+
+If you want to start zabbix_java_gateway on system bootup, include these lines in
+your /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+ # Start zabbix_server
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_java_gateway ]; then
+ echo "Starting zabbix java gateway..."
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_java_gateway start
+ fi
+
+To guarantee a clean shutdown of zabbix_java_gateway, include this in
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown:
+
+ # Stop zabbix_server
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_java_gateway ]; then
+ echo "Stopping zabbix java gateway..."
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_java_gateway stop
+ fi
+
+2.2) Make /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_java_gateway executable
+
+Additionally, you'll have to set the rc script to be executable just like
+any other Slackware rc script:
+
+ # chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_java_gateway
+
+3) Starting zabbix server
+-------------------------
+
+Now you are ready to start zabbix_server by calling the startup script:
+
+ # /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_java_gateway start
