Autostart at boot

pelgrimforever · 08-29-2004, 04:39 AM

This will probably be solved many times before,
but I can't find the anwer for the moment ...

I want to start postgresql, tomcat and apache at boot,
without logging in ofcourse.
I use Mandrake 10.0

Use the Mandrake Control Centre, then System, DrakXServices. You can set them to run at boot from there.

eeeumz
no, thats not it.

I compiled postgresql and apache 2, installed them manually,
they don't appear in the services list ...
And tomcat isn't a standard package in mandrake, as far as I know ofcourse ...

In that case, just add them to your /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file.

that's working for postgresql and tomcat,
they only need to be "visible" in the lan,

but apache is starting too early in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.
I get error messages because the internet isn't loaded yet.

So where can I start this service AFTER my network configuration is loaded ?

OK then, try the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. This script executes after all other init scripts.
