So, I copied my file motion.init-Debian to /etc/init.d/motion:**
**
*[root@L6 ~]# cp /usr/share/motion/examples/motion.init-Debian
/etc/init.d/motion*
*[root@L6 ~]# ls -al /etc/init.d/motion*
*-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1324 May 15 21:26 /etc/init.d/motion**
I have the feeling I need to change attributes on this file.
Incidentally, there is another file in the examples directory called
*motion.service:*
*[Unit]*
*Description=Motion daemon*
*After=local-fs.target network.target*
*[Service]*
*PIDFile=/var/run/motion.pid*
*ExecStart=/usr//usr/bin/motion -n*
*Type=simple*
*StandardError=null*
*[Install]*
*WantedBy=multi-user.target*
I don't know where that one would go. As far a directions on github, the
directions don't match the files in the PCLinuxOS repository.
Thanks again,
Ralph
