Creating a new bootup script

pmflav · 02-18-2010, 01:58 PM

Hi all.

Running Centos5 with the latest webmin, WHM and Cpanel.

I am trying to run the following as a startup script through webmin, but so far no joy. Searched the internet for a couple of hours last night and couldn't find the answer.

I am wanting the following to start on bootup.

Quote:

cd /home/aussied/.gameservers/bf2_0/mono bf2ccd.exe -autostart

Tried using the below, but to no joy.

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
# description: BF2 startup scrip, including bf2cc
# chkconfig: 2345 99 00

case "$1" in
'start')
cd /home/aussied/.gameservers/bf2_0
screen -A -m -d ./mono bf2ccd.exe -autostart

;;
'stop')
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/BF2
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
;;
esac
exit 0

If anyone could help me with this I would be grateful.

Thankyou

I'm not sure that the '00' in "# chkconfig: 2345 99 00" is valid... try '01'

If you run the commands -

Code:

cd /home/aussied/.gameservers/bf2_0
screen -A -m -d ./mono bf2ccd.exe -autostart

.. manually, does it work ?

Can you post the output of :

Code:

chkconfig --list (bf2 or whatever you called the script)

cheers

That should mean its an MS program which will not work natively in Linux; you'd need Wine http://www.winehq.org/.
*nix executables do not have that extension (binaries don't have any extension).

The developers may have written the .exe to be mono compatible, so it should be ok Chris

Might be worth running the 'file' cmd on it to see.

Thankyou for the replies so far.
Yes this is run under mono, and it runs fine in the command.

Runs under terminal as above and also with the screen command.

I just can't get it to run on system bootup.

The most frustrating part of this is that I did get something similar to this running a couple of years ago, the way I want it. Just can't for the life of me remember how I did it.

chkconfig output ?

Don't forget, if it is a graphical application, it will not start until after X has started.
