Hello,
My google-fu seems to be weak today 'cause I can't find a good answer to
this problem.
I have a server program. [<program> start] starts the server,
[<program> stop] stops it. I want to make it run as a daemon on an
openSUSE 10.2 installation, so it will start / exit cleanly.
<program> start
DOES make it run as a deamon.
Or do you mean you want it to start up every time you boot up.
I suggest you ls
$ ls /etc/init.d
and then do this:
$ ls -al --color=always /etc/init.d/*.d | less -r
note that in each directory (for example /etc/init.d/rc3.d), each file
is actually
a link to a similarly-named file in the parent directory
example, in /etc/rc5.d
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2006-12-27 11:40 K04cron -> ../cron
Thus /etc/init.d/rc5.d/K04cron is a symbolic link to ../cron
(which is to say, /etc/init.d/cron)
Likewise, /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S18cron is AGAIN a link to ../cron
(which is ALSO /etc/init.d/cron)
if the solution at that point is not obvious, then
# man ln # and note at the -s option
su to root, and make the symbolic links as appropriate.
Bonus:
- running it as a different user
- listing it in YaST / system services.
Thanks for any hints,
Sorin
