Greetings again. Here is the content of my file called 'syncjenius_win' that I placed in the /etc/event.d directory (Is this the right directory?) on Fedora 10
# cyclone # # This service is started automatically by init # description "cyclone daemon" author "Nowell, Inc" start on startup start on runlevel 2 start on runlevel 3 start on runlevel 4 start on runlevel 5 stop on runlevel 0 stop on runlevel 1 stop on runlevel 6 respawn exec /etc/spyforce/cyclone [END] -The program does start on boot (good) -We ran a test to see if will actually restart if terminated. - When you send the /etc/spyforce/cyclone the kill signal it DOES NOT restart -We want it such that if for any reason the program is stopped or terminated it MUST restart as it was in earlier versions of linux when we used inittab Please if anyone can help Ill appreciate it. Also am I placing my file in the right directory? Currently I have it placed in /etc/event.d Thanks Omon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Garrett Cooper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Omon Edeki (Nowell, Inc)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <upstart-devel@lists.ubuntu.com> Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 10:17 PM Subject: Re: /etc/inittab respawn daemon entry > On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 6:24 PM, Omon Edeki (Nowell, Inc) > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Greetings everyone, >> >> I have a SPECIFIC question.
