Hi all,

you need to copy or link the script to /usr/local/sbin
what is the reason for this?

According to man systemd-sysv-generator all you have to do is to install the 
SysV script into /etc/init.d as usually and reload the config:
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
This will create a service file under 
/run/systemd/generator.late/ethercat.service which can be enabled for autostart 
as you wrote.

By the way, the EtherCAT master also comes with a proper service file. I didn't 
test it though since the init.d script works fine for me om Debian 9.

Best regards,
Christoph

Betreff: [etherlab-users] Debian Stretch


We have been using etherLabs etherCAT stack on Debian Wheezy with a Xenomai 
kernel for some time now.  For reasons outside of ethercat we want to move to 
Stretch (Debian 9) using the RT_PREEMPT kernel.  I have the stack up and 
running, but some system differences are causing me some difficulties.  I have 
been reading articles, but was wanting to know if someone here has already gone 
through the pain and would be willing to share their work.



First of all, I have found that although the UDev directories are still there, they are all empty 
and UDev seems to be deprecated.  The UDev rule, 99-EtherCAT.rules, which contains the line 
“KERNEL=="EtherCAT[0-9]*", MODE="0664"” no longer seems to have any effect.  
Anyone know the new procedure to set the file mode for the EtherCAT devices?



Second, they have switched to systemd.  I have just been running the 
sbin/ethercatctl script to start and stop the service.  Anyone know the magic 
mojo to add it to the system so I can use systemctrl and thus be able to have 
it start on system startup?



TIA,



Steven
