Hi good people, I am looking for assistance in creating a startup script for rc.d/ to automatically start/stop a service upon reboot. I have installed Mailman3.x in a python virtual environment and I have adopted a script from Linux to control it. I am able to use the script to manually start|stop the application. However, it does not work when I reboot the system. Hoping someone can help me tinker with it so that it works with system reboots. Below is the content of the script currently. <BEGIN> #!/usr/local/bin/bash ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: GNU Mailman # Required-Start: $local_fs $network # Required-Stop: $local_fs $network # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Mailman Service # Description: service control for Mailman ### END INIT INFO PATH=/opt/mailman/mm/bin:/opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin: DESC="GNU Mailman service" DAEMON=/opt/mailman/mm/bin/mailman NAME=mailman3 USER=mailman3 # Needed by click export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 # Exit if the package is not installed [ -x "$DAEMON" ] || exit 0 # Load the VERBOSE setting and other rcS variables #. /lib/init/vars.sh # Define LSB log_* functions. # Depend on lsb-base (>= 3.2-14) to ensure that this file is present # and status_of_proc is working. #. /lib/lsb/init-functions case "$1" in start) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Starting $DESC" "$NAME" # use --force to remove a stale lock. /usr/local/bin/sudo -u $USER $DAEMON start --force ;; stop) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Stopping $DESC" "$NAME" /usr/local/bin/sudo -u $USER $DAEMON stop ;; status) /usr/local/bin/sudo -u $USER $DAEMON status ;; reopen) /usr/local/bin/sudo -u $USER $DAEMON reopen ;; restart) log_daemon_msg "Restarting $DESC" "$NAME" /usr/local/bin/sudo -u $USER $DAEMON restart ;; *) echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|status|reopen|restart}" >&2 exit 3 ;; esac <END> Thank you. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", grep ^[^#] :-)
