I'm attempted to get a TinyERP (which uses PostgreSQL database engine) to start at boot. Essentially at the moment you need to log in and start the TinyERP server manually by typing in 'sudo su postgres -c tinyerp-server'. There is also another command called 'start-tinyerp' which is the web front end service, which also needs to be started at boot.

I've added the processes themselves to the rc*.d directories (where * is the runlevel) and also tried scripts (although extremely basic ones). The best i've got is entering the processes themselves, but the problem this presents is that the boot process stops once the tinyerp-server boots, due to the way the process has been configured.

Any Idea's? Anything welcome.

OS: Ubuntu 8.04

youre looking fore a TinyERB init startup script right ? Correct me iof am wrong

anyway here is a Slackware version which I think with a little or no twitch might do the trick.

# Slackware startup script for TinyERP Server
# Written by Francis David <contato@fdavid.com.br> on 07 March 2008
# Last revision on --
#
# Based on startup script fro PostgresSQL
# Original author: Ken Zalewski <kennyz@nycap.rr.com>
#
# NOTES:
# This script can be run directly from a root command sheel, using:
# root# /etc/rc.d/rc.tinyerp-server start
# or
# root# /etc/rc.d/rc.tinyerp-server stop
#
# For automatic startup, it should be added to /tc/rc.d/rc.M, just
# beneath the MySQL startup. A sample startup line:
#
# [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.tinyerp-server ] && /etc/rc.d/rc.tinyerp-server start
#
# or more traditionally:
#
# if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.tinyerp-server ]; then
# /etc/rc.d/rc.tinyerp-server start
# fi
#
# Note that this script should NOT be sourced (using the "." command),
# since it contains "exit" statements which would cause rc.M to exit
# prematurely. This is similar to rc.cups, which also cannot be sourced.

If not helpful post all the commands you enter to sucessfully start TinyERB sucessfully, might try to cook up a simplified 1 for you.
