How to set a programm auto started when the machine is restarting

thomas2004ch · 01-06-2010, 05:24 AM

I've installed a JBoss-JON-Agent on a Linux-machine. Normally to start the JON-Agent I have to go to /opt/jboss/VGER1/Agent/bin/ and run ./ rhq-agent-wrapper.sh start

But sometimes the Linux-machine will be restarted and I have to start the JON-Agent manually.

Now what I want is: when the Linux-machine is restarting, the JON-Agent will be restarted.

How to do that?

I think I have to use 'chkconfig' etc. right?

You can put the command in

/etc/rc.local

That is startup script right?
put it to following directory /etc/init.d/
#chkconfig --level 2345 scriptname on

here 2345 means runlevel(whatever the runlevel you need just mention on there)

What I tend to do it create an rc.[whatever] file, and then call that from rc.local only if the file is executable. that way you can set the file to accept commands like start, stop and restart and so can run the file alone (ie, without having to run everything else in rc.local). ALso, it allows you very easily stop something running without having to edit any files - just remove the executable flag from the file.

I did as follow:

1.
Create a script file and put it under /etc/rc.d/init.d/

2.
Set level
#chkconfig --level 0126 scriptname off
#chkconfig --level 345 scriptname on

Is it ok? Anyway it works.
