Hi,
I am pretty sure that djb changed his instructions for daemontools
http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/svscan.html#boot and linux somewhat recently.
The first time I followed LWQ I overlooked the URL provided altogether.
{oops) Then when it didn't work I read the entire cr.yp.to site to find
out why. I read a lot to discover that I only needed 3 steps to make it all
work. As I said the first time I read it there was only the method provided
below, or at least that was all I saw and used.
It is still beyond me why the simple steps were left out of LWQ:
It says:
2.7. Install daemontools:
<snip>
Test the build by following the directions in
http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/install.html.
Instead of this ...
#1 mkdir /service
#2 chmod 755 /service
#3 add this to rc.local and reboot.
env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin csh -cf 'svscan /service
&'
If you do those 3 steps then you can follow LWQ. from:
2.8 Start qmail (which is misleading because you wont be starting qmail for
a while)
Anyway I spent too much time watching it not work for me on redhat or
mandrake.
(you can reload inittab with the command init q so you dont have to
reboot of course you do not need to reboot with the other way either you
could just run that command)
I hope this helps.
