startup script for suse 10.0

[howe222]

good evening,

if I restart my server i have to restart also firefly via
/usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd -c /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.conf -f

Would it be possible, that SUSE is starting this service automaticlly??

Best Regards
Ciao

Yes, the way to do that on all unixes is to use a startup script. Google around for “sysv init”, that’s the style of initialization that suse uses to start up processes at boot.

You’ll need at a minimum a startup script and shutdown script. There is one from suse in contrib/init.d in the tarball you downloaded.

You’ll have to copy that as “mt-daapd” in /etc/init.d, then make it startup at boot with “chkconfig –add mt-daapd” (I think, not sure on suse). Might have to use “insserv”.

Anyone with more suse knowledge want to add anything?
