Re: calling up scripts

["Damien Gardner Jnr" <rendrag@rendrag.net>]

G'day Stef,

debian has /etc/init.d/ where you put your scripts, and then /etc/rcX.d (S,
for stuff that starts always, and 1-6 for the various runlevels.. 2 being
the standard runlevel.) where you put symlinks to your scripts..

So you'd want to create say an /etc/init.d/startax25.sh (make sure to make
it executable..), then jump into /etc/rc2.d and ln -s ../init.d/startax25.sh
SXXstartax25
(where XX is a number between 00 and 99 which sets the starting order.. -
you'll probably want something after 80 or so ? depends on when you want it
to start..)

These scripts are *supposed* to take a 'start' or 'stop' from the command
line, as they're called at startup AND shutdown, though a lot of the time I
don't bother implementing a stop..

Cheers,

Damien
