Hello (again :-) )...
I want to make FC2 automatically load a program which should work all
the time in background...I thought it would be similar to other
automatically loadable programs, as httpd, so I created the following
script, and put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d/:
[tk@acer tk]$ cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/slmodemd
#!/bin/sh
# Startup script for slmodemd
#
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
[ -f /usr/sbin/slmodemd ] || exit 0
prog="slmodemd"
options="--country=POLAND /dev/slamr0"
start() {
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
daemon $prog $options
RETVAL=$?
echo
return $RETVAL
}
stop() {
echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
killall -HUP $prog
echo
RETVAL=$?
return $RETVAL
}
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
status)
status $prog
;;
restart)
stop
start
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit $RETVAL
[tk@acer tk]$
I also created symbolic links to it in every /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d/
directory...
[tk@acer rc0.d]$ ls -l K15slmodemd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 maj 28 18:10 K15slmodemd ->../init.d/slmodemd
...actually I don't know what are this 'K' or 'S' on the beginning mean
:(, but I created only 'K' one as it is for httpd. I also don't know if
'15' number is somehow significant.
Actually, after all this, the script still doesn't seem to load on a
startup. /var/log/messages shows nothing about it :(
WHAT IS WRONG?
I also tried to put execution code in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
[tk@acer rc.d]$ cat rc.local
#!/bin/sh
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
echo "Starting modem:";
daemon /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=POLAND /dev/slamr0
RETVAL=$?
echo
[tk@acer rc.d]$
But the result is the same - script slmodemd doesn't start....
What do I do wrong? How should I make my system execute some code on a
startup?
Regards,
Tomek
