[Suse linux 10.1]boot.local help

Hey there

I know i have been posting before, about this but never really got the answer so i'll try again (yes sorry)

So I wonna make a game server startup on boot, so i need to write the script in boot.local (in /etc/init.d/boot.local). Okay so the server is located in my home folder hlds/hlds_l/hlds_run so what do i need to write in the boot.local script..?

Another thing, when do the boot.local script run? does it run after you logged the user in, or just after the other things in the boot proccess?

Hope someone can help

There is no need to use boot.local. Just put a symlink in /etc/init.d/rcX.d, where X is your runlevel. In default Suse installations it's 5 If you don't know what it is, run:

Code:

cat /etc/inittab |grep initdefault

Then (for example to make the server start at runlevel 5), run:

Code:

ln -s /path/to/hlds/hlds_l/hlds_run /etc/init.d/rc5.d/starthlds

Of course you can create a script and put it in /etc/init.d/rcX.d to start/stop the server on system startup/shutdown

Okay thanks mate

but just a question the what is the path ? the hlds/hlds_l/hlds_run is in my home folder, but i quess i need to write that as well so will home/username/hlds/hlds_l/hlds_run work or do i need to add more in the start ?

You have to use the absolute path to the executable. Sice it run from home dir, use:

Code:

ln -s /home/username/hlds/hlds_l/hlds_run /etc/init.d/rc5.d/starthlds
