My script is sort of lame, but here goes. First, I don't use the deb
package - presumably it has its own stop/start/etc scripts. I use the
tarball.
It runs out of cron:
Code:
--------------------
@reboot /export/home/slim/watch-squeezebox-server > /dev/null 2>&1 &
--------------------
It needs some /etc/sudoers sauce:
Code:
--------------------
Cmnd_Alias PROC_MGMT = /usr/bin/renice
slim ALL = NOPASSWD: PROC_MGMT
--------------------
here's the script:
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
#for reduced cron environment
PATH=$perl:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/lame/bin:/export/home/jth/tools
export PATH
perl=/export/home/slim/perl5100/bin
slimdir=/export/home/slim/server
slimlog=/export/home/slim/log/server.log
squeezecenter=$slimdir/slimserver.pl
sudo renice -5 $$
while true ; do
cd $slimdir
echo `date`" squeezebox server starting" >> $slimlog
$perl/perl $squeezecenter >> $slimlog 2>&1
retval=$?
echo "squeezebox server ended with retval $retval" | \
logger -t SLIMSERVER -p daemon.err
sleep 15
done
--------------------
The end result is the server runs at increased priority -5. I have the
server start in a loop because in the early days, the server would
crash
occasionally and this would automatically restart it. I can't remember
the last time the server has crashed though.
Hope it helps...
