starting script on startup

darklandz · 06-04-2005, 07:39 AM

Hello,

i'm running the apache webserver and more stuff that i dl from hxxp://apachefriends.org. Everything works fine only one thing that i would like to change.

When i startup linux, i need to login and always manual start the apache,msql ... to do that i need to execute : /opt/lampp/lampp start

Is there a way to automate that ?

Do you know anything about runlevels?
There is an init.d script somewhere there which helps you do exactly what you want.
But that depends on what distro do you have. I have Debian, you have RH. I don't know how to do it in RedHat.

in rh use chkconfig --level (level number, usually 2345 if you want to start in all level) [service name] on

example for samba

chkconfig --level 345 smb on

hmm, levels ? This is my second day with Linux so that sound all strange to me.

But i found it ...

i edited the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script and it seems to work, everything gets started before login.

I'm happy you made it work.
