Pkgtool rc.d Scripts

byteframe · 12-21-2006, 04:05 PM

Hey hey hey.

I made some cool rc.d scripts for my game servers, and I was wondering how to get them to show up in pkgtool (Setup -> Services). I just put them in /etc/rc.d and they dont show up there.

In case it matters, their chowned root:games. They work fine, but I was looking to have pkgtool enable (or disable) the servers via their scripts.

What's the word on this? Thanks.

So where does the dog fit in? anyone would think you just did that for attention, and broke forum ettiquette rules in the process.

/var/log/setup/setup.services

is the file you want.

Hi

I think you meant that if you don't solve that problem then you would be so busy finding the solution that you would forget about your dog and so put its life in risk.

Not funny, to be honest. I think something like that could happen to me if I was living alone...

Shame on me. That's why I have had no pets for years.

How good computers don't need food!

You crazy forum nazis!

Anyways, how do you edit this file? I added this to it in what is probably the appriorated place...

Code:

if [ -r etc/rc.d/rc.ut2004ded]; then
  if [ -x etc/rc.d/rc.ut2004ded]; then
    RC_UT2004DED=on
  else
    RC_UT2004DED=off
  fi
  cat << EOF >> $TMP/tmpscript
    "rc.ut2004ded" "The UT2004 game server" $RC_UT2004DED"The UT2004 server allows your machine to host multiple Unreal Tournament 2004 games." \\
EOF
fi

ill look it over some more, do I have to run smoe command or something? I can't reboot my machine or Ill lose and uptime contest AND MY DOG WILL BE PROCESSED INTO PIG SLOP!

O.k... That's fine but you missed the for loop at the bottom. Add your script name there and you will have to add a section to either rc.M or rc.local to actually fire the script up. I'm guessing you already did that but one can't be sure. Slackware isn't rocket science.

Damn, didnt work, kinda looked like it would have, heres what it looks like now in case its done wrong.

Code:

for service in rc.atalk rc.bind rc.cups rc.dnsmasq rc.httpd rc.inetd rc.ip_forward rc.lprng rc.mysqld rc.pcmcia rc.rpc rc.samba rc.saslauthd rc.scanluns rc.sendmail rc.syslog rc.sshd rc.ut2004ded ; do

The location of this file seem weird (/var/log ???)

Piter Punk has a nice tool for turning services on and off called initcfg. You can get a copy here:

Your formatting is off there. Try this:

Code:

if [ -r etc/rc.d/rc.ut2004ded ]; then
  if [ -x etc/rc.d/rc.ut2004ded ]; then
    RC_UT2004DED=on
  else
    RC_UT2004DED=off
  fi
  cat << EOF >> $TMP/tmpscript
    "rc.ut2004ded" "The UT2004 game server" $RC_UT2004DED "The UT2004 server allows your machine to host multiple Unreal Tournament 2004 games." \\
EOF
fi

And Piter Punk makes many contributions to Slackware on an "official" level... Why would you not trust someone soley based on their name?

byteframe · 12-22-2006, 01:49 AM

So whitespace like that makes a differance for bash scripting?
