Hi,
I think upgrading the slimserver to Perl 5.16 is going to be a bit of a
time consuming job.... some libraries are old and won't even build with
perl 5.16, new libraries, deprecated functions... yes a task.
I approached it by installing a closed environment of Perl 5.14 and
leaving the system Perl5.16 alone.
Approach can be found
www jamesarbrown com / ?p=186
As for starting and stopping as a service have not gotten that far, as I
tend to use Monit to just ensure its always up. monit.rc entries are
like
Code:
--------------------
check process squeezeboxserver with pidfile /opt/slimserver/slimserver.pid
start program = "/opt/Perl5.14/bin/perl -I
/opt/slimserver-vendor/CPAN/build/arch/5.14 /opt/slimserver/slimserver.pl
--pidfile /opt/slimserver/sli
mserver.pid &"
as uid mythtv and gid mythtv it
stop program = "kill -INT `cat /opt/slimserver/slimserver.pid`"
if failed port 9000 protocol http then restart
--------------------
Hope it helps someone for now.... seems to me Slimserver needs bringing
upto Perl5.16 and Perl5.16/CPAN embedding with during install/build, so
infuture Perl upgrades do not break. Wonder how many Linux users there
are using slimserver. Needs forking and simplifying (get rid of
mysqueezebox etc).. wish I had more time.
James
