Hello,

I'd like to automate startup of hobbit at boot time.

If I make a link from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hobbit.sh to the startup script
in /usr/local/...hobbit/server/hobbit.sh,  how do I get it to start
using the user account 'hobbit' ?

Is there another preferred technic ?

Thanks

This is the script that I use on SLES9:

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:       hobbit
# Required-Start: network
# Required-Stop:  network
# Default-Start:  3 5
# Default-Stop:   3
# Description:    Start the hobbit network monitor
### END INIT INFO

case "$1" in
     start)
         echo "Starting Hobbit"
         su - hobbit -c "cd /home/hobbit/server; ./hobbit.sh start"
         ;;
     stop)
         echo "Stopping Hobbit"
         su - hobbit -c "cd /home/hobbit/server; ./hobbit.sh stop"
         ;;
     restart)
         $0 stop
         $0 start
         rc_status
         ;;
     *)
         echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
         exit 1
         ;;
esac

Rich,

Thanks for the reply. I think I follow the script.  If I'm correct,
when the script runs, something passes to the script, a stop, start,
or restart command.

But how does this occur? Does simply putting this script in
../etc/rc.d/ make it automatic, or is it a combination of the former +
adding something like "hobbit_enable='YES' " withing the rc.conf file
?

Thanks

Don

On SLES, we use chkconfig to add the script to the startup.

chkconfig hobbit on

will set up the startup and shutdown links correctly.  Linux flavors 
that don't support chkconfig you'll have to set up the links manually 
(or use whatever tool your dist provides).

The standard startup process will automatically pass start and stop to 
the script at the proper time.  You can invoke it manually eg: './hobbit 
start'.
