start own script during the startup automatically

cccc · 03-11-2006, 06:57 AM

hi

my system is opensuse 10.0
I have a wpasupplicant startup script und I put it into /etc/init.d

now I can start it manually:

Code:

# /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant start

I'd like to start it automatically during the startup
so I've done following:

Code:

# cd /etc/init.d
linux:/etc/init.d # ln -s  wpasupplicant /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S25wpasupplicant

and over yast -> system -> runlevel editor activated.
but it won't start automatically !

what's wrong and howto solve this problem ?

kind regards
cccc

Try doing

Code:

#chkconfig /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant
#chkconfig wpasupplicant on

If that doesn't work then you'll have to create your own start and kill symlinks to /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant in /etc/rc.d/rcX.d. You can also put the script in /etc/init.d/boot.local.

Code:

# chkconfig /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant
/etc/init.d/wpasupplicant: unknown service
# chkconfig wpasupplicant on
insserv: script wpasupplicant: service wpa already provided!
insserv: exiting now!
/sbin/insserv failed, exit code 1

Code:

# cd /etc/init.d
linux:/etc/init.d # ln -s  wpasupplicant /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S25wpasupplicant

Sorry the syntax in my first post was not right. Try

Code:

# chkconfig --add /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant

cccc · 03-11-2006, 08:18 AM

Code:

linux:~ # chkconfig --add /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant
/etc/init.d/wpasupplicant: unknown service
/etc/init.d/wpasupplicant: not a runlevel service
linux:~ #

Ok, it seems like its not a service handled by chkconfig. Try the instructions in this article.

A script that is controlled by chkconfig requires the line
# chkconfig: 345 15 85
Look here for the meaning.

thanks, I will try this script

it seems to work, but only if I start it manually
during the startup, it starts to late, after the network and my wirelss doesn't get the connection

perhaps wpa is needed in Required-Start: from /etc/init.d/network:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: network
# Required-Start: $local_fs
# Should-Start: isdn
# Required-Stop:
# Should-Stop:
# Default-Start: 2 3 5
# Default-Stop:
# Description: Configure the network interfaces and set up routing
### END INIT INFO

Did you configure your script to start via init.d?
You can change the start number to be less then wireless and network.

yep!

I've tried already with S01 - S14 before the network (network is S15), but this really doesn't work.
so I'm looking for any other solution.
