Depending on the script placing it in /etc/init.d could work (with appropriate symlinks to /etc/rc.x) however does the script follwo standard behaviour for /etc/init.d scripts? (eg start, stop, restart, status.....) .... If you just want the script/java file called you could just pop it into /etc/rc.local to run at the end of the start up sequence (you might need to & to background it) ... with the reminder that it will only run at startup then. To run it at other times you would need nohup <scriptname> & that would prevent it ending when you log out or you close a terminal window (thus exiting the parent shell). 2009/12/7 Roland Roland <R_O_L_A_N_D at hotmail.com> > Hello, > > I've just finished installing Atlassian's bamboo > <http://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/> > it comes with two ways to start it up one through a bash shell script > bamboo.sh > and another through java script (this one is better as it has the ability > to start up the service if it got shutdown for any reason) > > so I'm wondering how can I set this service to start on boot.. > I know how to set a script on login in my profile though not on boot.. > > any suggestion? > I've looked around about none interactive shells and so on.. so if I did a > symbolic link from bamboo.sh script to /etc/init.d would that work? > what about variables inside the script would they b read ? > > obviously a newbie here so appreciate any detailed explanation if possible > about interactive/ none interactive shells and of course if theres an advice > about how to solve this issue.. > > PS: trying to educate myself about linux along the way so any explanation > would be greatly appreciated... > > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
