Start XYmon at boot in Ubuntu... 🔗 link

Hi!

I haven't found any way to start XYmon automatically at boot time...
It need to be started by user hobbit, and when I used update-rc it was added in the startscripts, but I can't figure out how to get it started by user hobbit...
Anybody knows how to do this?

This is in generally how I add something to the start and stop procedure.  
This should work on any linux distribution.

Make a file /etc/init.d/xymon with contents

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
   <start command>
    ;;
stop)
   <stop command>
    ;;
esac

exit 0

Make this file executable and create the needed symlinks:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc0.d/K09xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc1.d/K09xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc2.d/S91xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc3.d/S91xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc4.d/S91xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc5.d/S91xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc6.d/K09xymon

Hello Mathias

  I would like to share my own Hobbit starting script, working the same for
Xymon 


cat /etc/init.d/hobbit-client

#!/bin/bash

USER_HOBBIT="hobbit"  
PROG_PATH="/opt/hobbit-monitor"
HOBBIT_PID="${PROG_PATH}/client/logs/clientlaunch.${HOSTNAME}.pid"
cd /

case "$1" in
  start)
        su ${USER_HOBBIT} -c "${PROG_PATH}/client/runclient.sh start"
        ;;
  stop)
        su ${USER_HOBBIT} -c "${PROG_PATH}/client/runclient.sh stop"
        ;;

  restart)
        su ${USER_HOBBIT} -c "${PROG_PATH}/client/runclient.sh restart"
        ;;

  status)
        su ${USER_HOBBIT} -c "${PROG_PATH}/client/runclient.sh status"
        ;;

  *)
        echo "Usage: $NAME {start|stop|restart|status}" >&2
        exit 3
        ;;
esac


--- END ---

Please, fix according to your Xymon username and installation path : 
USER_HOBBIT="?"  
PROG_PATH="?"

  Good luck
