hi all,
I have a shell script, pretty simple, just one line command to start a application deamon. What is the best way to ensure this runs when the computer is booted.
Thanks.
Hi hussainwadiwalla,
just one line command to start a application deamon. What is the best way to ensure this runs when the computer is booted.
The best way is to turn it into a LSB startup script. That way, you can use all run control features and have it integrated into your system, including dependencies to other services. See “/etc/init.d/skeleton”.
The lazy way to just have that single line executed after the run-level has been reached, is to add it to “/etc/init.d/after.local”. This may be dependant on the OS version, I assumed SLES11SP3.
Regards,
Jens
Hi
If your not concerned where is starts in the boot process, the edit/add
to /etc/init.d/boot.local. Else if there are particular services to be
up, or run before, then copy the /etc/init.d/skeleton to a suitable
name in /etc/init.d and edit as required.
