 Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2004 11:34 am Post subject: PPTPd startup script [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello all,
I try to setup a VPN server with Gentoo and Poptop PPTPd. My main problem here is how to start it? I can't find any startup script in /etc/init.d. If I start it from webmin it works.
Can anyone help out?
Thanks in advance,

So... no answer, have mine written. For those who are interested, here's it:
| Code: | #!/sbin/runscript
# Really simple startup scrip for PopTop pptpd
# Deeply inspired from /etc/init.d/sshd ;-)
# by Fabian Vilers (fabian@vilers.net)
depend() {
use logger dns
need net
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting pptpd"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid \
--startas /usr/sbin/pptpd
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping pptpd"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid
eend $?
}

Maybe startup script guru can check if it is correct. In fact, it works on my machine but the pid file is not removed when service is shutdown. I don't know if this is the normal behaviour. |
