Hi All,

here is is my init.d script for a daemon

Code:

 

#!/bin/sh
echo "This is a init script for my daemon"

start() {
            # Load some gh2 kernel modules
            if [ -f /home/try/test1d ] ; then
                   ./test1d
		   
		   echo "daemon started started"
             fi

           
}
stop() {
	
        echo -n "daemon stoopped: "
	killall -SIGINT test1d       
        echo "OK"
}
status() {
	
}
restart() {
        stop
        start
}

case "$1" in
  start)
        start
        ;;
  stop)
        stop
        ;;
 status)
	status
	;;
  restart|reload)
        restart
        ;;
  *)
        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac

exit $?

#

How do I implement Status for th same daemon.

Thanks in advance ....

The best way is to look at how other init scripts do it (please fill in your distro info in your profile) but somethin like

Code:

status) echo -en "test1d: "; /usr/bin/pgrep -lf '/home/try/test1d' >/dev/null 2>&1 && running || echo gone;;

could work. It relies on 'pgrep' and on you not using "./test1d" but "/home/try/test1d" to start your process. Also note that the she-bang line must be the first line of your script (no newlines above it) and if this is about kernel modules (as one of your comments suggest) then there are other ways to load those, unless you require more finegrained control over it wrt timing.
