Hello:
I am using a SBC with an ARM processor on it. I am working on an application and need that a c program start running automatically and indefinetely once the board is powerd up. However i was able to create the program to run automatically by linking it to the /etc/init.d in my processor. I do not want it to make it run indefinetely because I am unable to kill the program once it start running using Ctrl+c OR the "kill" command. Is there a way to accomplish that?, I mean to make a program to run automatically and indefinetely on start up but kill it is necesary?
than ks in advance

hi,
how were you trying to kill the process, as a normal user!? I think that a process started from /etc/init.d would need root privileges to be terminated. Anyway, the usual command to stop such processes is
but I do not know if it applies to "custom" program or just to "default" services.

Try it out, good luck!
