The startup scripts for Mandrake (and RedHat, SuSE for that matter) are all in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ . You have to place the tcpserver init script in that
directory.
My own script (tcpserver) looks like this:
-----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# tcpserver startup script
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting tcpserver: qmail-smtpd: "
exec tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 502 -g 501 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
echo "done"
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down tcpserver: "
killall tcpserver
echo "done"
;;
*)
echo "Usage: tcpserver {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
---------------------------------------------
Then you have to create a symbolic link to the init script like so:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc3.d/ ../init.d/tcpserver S55tcpserver
That'll do it. Just as a note. I am just finishing a beta setup guide for
Linux users and administrators that wish to run qmail. If anyone is interested
I'd be glad to announce when it's finished.
