Hi Guys,
Although this script works great when upstart is available, when upstart is
not available you can't do it like this. I struggled to find a solution on
here or anywhere online, so I have made an alternative script which will
work on sysvinit (/etc/init.d)
#!/bin/sh
DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/python
PARAMETERS="/var/www/html/web2py/web2py.py -K init"
LOGFILE=/var/log/web2py-scheduler.log
start() {
echo -n "starting up $DAEMON"
RUN=`$DAEMON $PARAMETERS > $LOGFILE 2>&1`
if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then
echo " Done."
else
echo " FAILED."
fi
}
stop() {
killall $DAEMON
}
status() {
killall -0 $DAEMON
if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Running."
else
echo "Not Running."
fi
}
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
restart)
stop
sleep 2
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
status)
status
;;
*)
echo "usage : $0 start|restart|stop|status"
;;
esac
exit 0
I installed this on CentOS release 5.5, however I needed to follow these
instructions to install:
1.) # vi web2py-scheduler
2.) Paste in the above
3.) Add in the following 2 lines in the web2py-scheduler file (required for
centos i believe):
# chkconfig: 2345 90 10
# description: web2py-scheduler
4.) make it executable # chmod 755 web2py-scheduler
5.) add it to startup # chkconfig --add web2py-scheduler
