Re: [ts-7000] Re: How to start application at boot time on TS-7260

[william inocencio <>]

see .........

You can use update-rc.d for start-only or stop-only scripts

Start my script on startup :
# update-rc.d -f my_script start 99 2 3 4 5 .

where
- start is the argument given to the script (start, stop).
- 99 is the start order of the script (1 = first one, 99= last one)
- 2 3 4 5 are the runlevels to start

Dont forget the dot at the end
More info in /etc/rcS.d/README

Start my_script on shutdown and reboot :
# update-rc.d -f my_script start 90 0 6 .

Stop my_script on halt and reboot :
# update-rc.d -f my_script reboot 90 0 6 .

If you want to make your own demon, you can use the skeleton file provided at
/etc/init.d/skeleton

about runlevels :

To know which runlevel you are running, simply type
$ runlevel

more info about runlevels here : http://oldfield.wattle.id.au/luv/boot.html#init

happy scripting

Well, as I mentioned in previous e-mail: "I don't have much experience
with scripts" :). Turns out that I had couple errors in the script
(missing after start and stop). Everything is working OK now.
Jim and Triffid, thanks for help.
