Where to find rc scripts (to run a daemon at startup)


Picture:Clock Published on May 22nd, 2006 in Gentoo

Just in case you wanted to add a daemon to the boot-process of your gentoo box, but couldn’t find the rc-script. Well, take a look at “/etc/init.d” directory. If you install an application that contains a daemon, then the build-script will be copied over there and the “rc-update add” resp. “rc-update del” commands look for a script for that particular daemon in the directory mentioned before.

I hope this info helped at least one or more newbies out there getting along with gentoo.

    You could also add it to /etc/conf.d/local.start or /etc/conf.d/local.stop. These get sources when the system enters/exits the default runlevel.

    Clean site BTW =]

    Thanks for the tip Jack. Didn’t know that one yet.

    I’m working on a completely new design that I’m building from scratch. As you can tell, the current one is based on one of the standard WordPress templates. So stayed tuned for the new one, I hope you will like it!

    Thanks again
