PostPosted: Fri Oct 05, 2012 4:10 pm    Post subject: [SOLVED] rc-update Reply with quote

Hello,
I wrote the two following scripts in /etc/init.d/, made them executable (chmod +x filename), and added to rc-update as default services (rc-update add scriptname default).
When I start the system they doesn't start, but if i call manually "/etc/inid.d/scriptname start", the programs ar launched correctly.
I want to start them as default, where am i wrong?

Another question: when i start those services (manually like is described above), and want to stop one of them (/etc/init.d/scriptname stop), all two were killed because they have the same name in "ps". Is it possible to append a string to the process name? otherwise how can i stop only one of them?
Thanks

Code:
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in

    start)
        python3 /sbin/xyzserver.py &
        echo "The xyzbrowser server has been started."
        ;;

    stop)
        killall python3
        echo "The xyzbrowser process has been killed."
        ;;

    restart)
        killall python3
        echo "The xyzbrowser process has been killed."
        python3 /sbin/xyzserver.py &
        echo "The xyzbrowser server has been started."
        ;;

    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac



Code:
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in

    start)
        python3 /sbin/xyzpinger.py &
        echo "The xyzpinger has been started."
        ;;

    stop)
        killall python3
        echo "The xyzpinger process has been killed."
        ;;

    restart)
        killall python3
        echo "The xyzpinger process has been killed."
        python3 /sbin/xyzserver.py &
        echo "The xyzpinger has been started."
        ;;

    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

Take a look at the fine documentation on how to write init scripts for Gentoo. They need to start with:
Code:
#!/sbin/runscript

thank you very much, now the scripts are executed at startup...
here is the code of one of them:
Code:
#!/sbin/runscript

start(){
        python3 /sbin/xyzserver.py &
        echo "The xyzbrowser server has been started."
}

stop(){
        killall python3
        echo "The xyzbrowser process has been killed."
}

restart(){
        killall python3
        echo "The xyzbrowser process has been killed."
        python3 /sbin/xyzserver.py &
        echo "The xyzbrowser server has been started."
}


how could i kill only one of them two, if the processes names are equal? ("python3")

It's not possible to append a string to the process name? (like "python3/scriptname")

should i note somehow the process id and kill them by id? how could i do that?

thanks

Take another look at the fine documentation. The start-stop-daemon function is designed to handle this problem. It puts the process id of the started process in the pidfile on startup and then kills that process on shutdown.

You really either need to read the documentation or at the very least try to mimic the scripts that are already in /etc/init.d.

thank you another time..
follows one of the working scripts

i got some problems, solved
1) by adding #!/usr/bin/python3.2 in the first line of those .py scripts
2) by converting one of them with dos2unix because i got this error
/usr/bin/python3.2^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory


Code:

#!/sbin/runscript

start(){
    ebegin "Starting xyzbrowser server"
    start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/xyzserver.pid --background --make-pidfile --exec /sbin/xyzserver.py
    eend $?
}

stop(){
    ebegin "Stopping xyzbrowser server"
    start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/xyzbrowser.pid --exec /sbin/xyzserver.py
    eend $?
}

restart(){
    stop
    start
}
