I've been trying to get the timidity system running as a daemon. I
wrote the following init script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# timidity
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: timidity
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Add and remove timidity
# Description:
### END INIT INFO
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
RETVAL=0
PROG=timidity
EXEC=/bin/$PROG
PIDFILE=/var/run/timidity.pid
function start {
[[ -x $EXEC ]] || exit 5
echo -n "Starting $PROG: "
$EXEC -iAD
RETVAL=$?
echo
return $RETVAL
}
function stop {
echo -n "Stopping $PROG: "
killproc $EXEC -TERM
RETVAL=$?
echo
return $RETVAL
}
case "$1" in
start) start
RETVAL=$?
;;
stop) stop
RETVAL=$?
;;
status)
status $PROG
RETVAL=$?
;;
restart)
stop
start
;;
reload)
stop
start
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $prog {start|stop|status|restart|reload}"
exit 1
esac
exit $RETVAL
When run through systemctl during startup it fails:
[root at tamar init.d]# systemctl status timidity
timidity.service - LSB: Add and remove timidity
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/timidity)
Active: active (exited) since Thu ...
Process: 784 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/timidity start
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
... Starting LSB: Add and remove timidity...
... Starting timidity:
... jack_client_new: deprecated
... Started LSB: Add and remove timidity.
... Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
... Cannot connect to server request channel
... jack server is not running or cannot be started
... Couldn't open output device
But when run directly is works fine:
[root at tamar init.d]# ./timidity start
Starting timidity:
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
Opening sequencer port: 128:0 128:1 128:2 128:3
If I use # service timidity start it also fails.
I _think_ that what is happening is that systemctl is stripping off
the switch. I've spent a couple of hours searching for any links or
explanation and got nowhere. I even knocked up a script to try and
separate the two parts:
#!/bin/sh
cd /etc/init.d
./timidity start
but to no avail.
If there is a simple fix could someone point me there, if it's complex
don't bother, I only need the daemon when running MIDI and can start
it by hand.
