small question, service

hanxuerui · 04-04-2003, 12:27 PM

Redhat KDE has a tool can let user manage the system service, I could get the init.d rc5.d configured to started my JOnAS service. But it is not showing up in that tool. I guess there should be some configure files for that tool. It would be really nice if I can configure my service within that GUI tool.

Does anyone know about this?

Create your control file eg "/etc/init.d/jonas" then run
"chkconfig --add jonas"

thanks, but the jonas is a batch I wrote and while I was chkconfig -add jonas, it says:
service jonas does not support chkconfig

Do you know where I can find more information or do you know how to solve this problem?

You need to modify your script to look like the other ones in /etc/rc.d. Find the simpliest one you have and replace teh orginal line(s) used to run the program with your own ones.

As far as I can makeout from "man chkconfig" under the "RUNLEVEL FILES" section you need to put some comments at the start of the file that tell chkconfig what the default runlevels and priorites are.
