Yeah, the documentation isn't completely transparent. daemonic doesn't
actually start services:
"install" registers a service as potentially startable at boot time.
"enable" makes it startable.
"disable" makes it not startable.
"remove" unregisters the service.
"update" replaces an older configuration with a new one.
To start the service without a reboot, you either need to start it
yourself or the package that provides it should start it for you.
nginx is _supposed_ to start its service after installation, though:
Fiona:Downloads hansen$ fink dumpinfo -fpostinstscript nginx
Information about 8867 packages read in 1 seconds.
postinstscript:
#/bin/sh -ex
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
/usr/sbin/chown -R www:www /sw/var/log/nginx /sw/var/lib/nginx
/sw/var/nginx/www /sw/var/lock/nginx
/sw/bin/daemonic install net.nginx.nginx
fi
if [ "$1" = "upgrade" ]; then
/sw/bin/daemonic update net.nginx.nginx
fi
/sw/bin/daemonic enable net.nginx.nginx
if [ -f /sw/var/run/nginx.pid ]; then
echo "Stopping nginx"
killall nginx 2>/dev/null
echo "Starting nginx"
/sw/sbin/nginx
fi
Anyway, doing a "/sw/sbin/nginx &" should start it in the background for
you.
