debian start-up script tip

Sun, Apr 16, 2006

System Administration

If you’ve just installed something and want to make sure it starts on boot then the init.d script needs adding to the various run level folders as a symlink. It’s a bit of a drag and it can be sometimes forgotten.

Never mind, Debian comes with a handy script: Lets assume that we have a script in init.d called food (that’s foo daemon) and we want it to start with a prioiry of 75 for run levels 2 3 4 and 5, we can simpley run:

[code]update-rc.d food start 75 2 3 4 5 .[/code]
