Monitor with god, needs to be restarted automatically when the server gets rebooted. I've yet to find a guide on this that actually works. Any suggestions?

Hello,

What exactly are you trying to ask? What is "monitor with god?"

Cheers,

Josh

It's this:
http://god.rubyforge.org/

OP, the directions for starting god are on their page: "sudo god -c /path/to/config.god". So, it's only a command that needs to be run. You don't give any details about your version/distro of Linux, so it's hard to be specific. Normally, you'd know what runlevel your system uses by default...there is an /etc/init.d/rcx.d directory, with symbolic links to files starting with either S or K (start or kill). Write a small shell script to run god. Link to it as an Sxxxxxx script name. That's pretty much it.

You can also add something to the end of one of the existing startup scripts in /etc/init.d, too.....

Thanks for that.... I thought it had to do something with a monitor? As in a display....

TB0ne, Its Ubuntu 11.04, and as a programmer I'm not that knowledgeable on Linux servers. I've seen the sim link but never specifically for what I was doing and was unable to adapt it.

If you normally start it with "sudo god -c /path/to/config.god"
then you can have it start at boot just by putting
as the penultimate line in /etc/rc.local (on the line before the final exit 0 )

god will be started at boot.

This is quick, dirty (in that there is no error checking or reporting) and simple.
