Re: [gentoo-user] daemon start up problem

 Hello,
 I am running latest Gentoo.
 I want to start my app as a daemon.
 This app has a script to do so.
 
 webservice.sh
 
 I copied this file to /etc/init.d/
 
 I made a link:
 
 /etc/runlevels/default/webctrl --- /etc/init.d/webservice.sh
 
 If I start manually it's ok:
 
 /etc/init.d/webservice.sh start
 
 But when I re-boot I get:
 
 
 *WARNING:   /etc/init.d/webctrl missing ... Skipping[ok] 

I would imagine that the init system of Gentoo expects the links in
/etc/runlevels/... to have the same name as the script they link to.

So to get proper behaviour: 
ln -sf /etc/init.d/webservice.sh /etc/runlevels/default/webservice.sh
(or rc-update add webservice.sh default)

Then remove /etc/runlevels/default/webctrl
 
That should fix it...

RE: [gentoo-user] daemon start up problem

2006-02-08 Thread K. Mike Bradley 
I tried rc-update originally but got an error message which is why I
manually made the link.

I removed the webctrl link and rc-update as you detailed and it worked this
time, but ...

When I boot I get:

Usage: /sbin/rc { start | stop}

And the service is not running.

Could this be a script error in the webservice.sh provided by the app
vendor?

Thanks for all your help.

Here is the script:
 
 

snip

You haven't read the documentation for Gentoo rc-scripts.  This script 
was likely developed for a different distribution, for example Debian.  
Gentoo rc-scripts require, in addition to start() and stop(), a 
checkconfig() function that lets the rc services know what services this 
one requires.  You'll need to either manually figure out the 
dependencies and add a checkconfig(), or simply add 'webservice.sh start 
' to /etc/conf.d/local.start and 'webservice.sh stop ' to 
/etc/conf.d/local.stop as another poster recommended.


To learn more about rc-scripts and their required functions, run 
'/etc/init.d/webservice.sh help'  (or any service in /etc/init.d).


Also, the script as provided seems to expect to be run from a certain 
CWD with your JRE relative to there.  This is unlikely to work on 
Gentoo, especially given Gentoo's use of java-config to support 
different JREs.
