Re: [LUG] Genome@Home / init.d

[Rick Timmis <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My Suggestion, which may be flawed.

Pop the script you want to run into somewhere like /usr/local/bin 
(Binary Exec) or /usr/local/etc (Scripts)

Create a symlink in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d something like S100genome thus

>cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
>ln -s s100genome /usr/local/etc/genome

This should should run the script up as a service at boot time, ( I am 
assuming that the genome thingy is a daemon of some sort)

Now this is where the other LUG members will go, Wot's Rick on about you 
don't do it like that.  If that's the case then we will both learn something

Hope this helps

Rick
