########################################################################### HOW TO START THE CLIENT
The noip2 executable can be run by typing /usr/local/bin/noip2
If you want it to run automatically when the machine is booted, then place the following script in your startup directory. (/etc/init.d/rcX.d or /sbin/init.d/rcX.d or ???)
#######################################################
#! /bin/sh
# . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # uncomment/modify for your killproc
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting noip2."
/usr/local/bin/noip2
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down noip2."
killproc -TERM /usr/local/bin/noip2
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
#######################################################Where the 'X' in rcX.d is the value obtained by running the
following command
grep initdefault /etc/inittab | awk -F: '{print $2}'Killproc can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/init Alternatively, you can uncomment the line after #! /bin/sh
Now, if I'm not mistaken, if I add a proper script to /etc/init.d/ then I can add it to the default runlevel using rc-update. But, I have no knowledge of scripting and I'm wondering if the above script would work... Can anyone help me?
