NAS/Unix demon

[rk3]

Hello,

I like to start git as a demon with in the UNIX start up face. I tried to do this with a new script in the /etc/init.d/ folder. But after a reboot the script is away.
So what is the best approach to start additional demons?

Thanks
Ralf

Hi rk3,

You can follow the the steps below to run the demon when system startup

1. login NAS via ssh client (e.g. Utility like "Putty" on Windows or "terminal" on Mac)

2. Put your script under /usr/local/etc/init.d/

3. Rename script name to SXXscript_name (S00 ~ S99: script execute order, S00 is in order of first, S99 is in order of last)

e.g.

Code: Select all

# mv /usr/local/etc/init.d/first_autorun.sh /usr/local/etc/init.d/S00first
# mv /usr/local/etc/init.d/last_autorun.py /usr/local/etc/init.d/S99last

4. Modify execute permission for this script

e.g.

Code: Select all

# chmod +x /usr/local/etc/init.d/S00first 
# chmod +x /usr/local/etc/init.d/S99last

5. You can try to execute this script, and check result

e.g.

Code: Select all

# /usr/local/etc/init.d/S01autorun

6. After system restart, your script should be run automatically

Hi,

Thanks this documentation helps and finally also solved my question.
But I lost some time in testing and debugging. With your step 5 you can just test the script syntactical (and a little bit more but not the full functionality). The issue I run into was the path. The path from a user session and the demon is different. And I could not found a “central” log file where this kind of issues shows up. But is there some log files available we I can see the console outputs from the init.d scripts?

Thanks
Ralf

Hi rk3,

I'm not quiet sure what do you mean "The path from a user session and the demon is different"
could you please put this in more detail?
