put in rc.local
Hi
I also have a process that trigger every one minute. I use sleep function in script with infinite loop.
while [ 1 -lt 2 ]
do
clear
file=0
killall -u `whoami` -q soffice
soffice -invisible -norestore -nofirststartwizard -nologo -headless "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;" &
sleep 15s
find /temp/papers/ -name *^.doc | while read a;
do
file=$(($file+1))
filename=`echo "$a" | sed 's/\(.*\)...../\1/'`
echo Converting $filename.doc
python DocumentConverter.py "$filename^.doc" "$filename.pdf"
errorcode=$?
if [ $errorcode -eq 0 ]; then
mv "$a" "$filename.doc"
echo Successfully Convert $filename.doc
fi
if [ 0 -lt $errorcode ]; then
echo Can not convert $filename.doc error $errorcode
fi
done
killall -u `whoami` soffice
echo Total files: $file
echo Waiting for next interval
sleep 60s
done
I run the above script from Terminal, it is working fine.
I would like to start this process automatically on my linux startup.
So I put calling my script file in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
When I reboot, OS hang on startup. I think OS is looping infinite loop of my script.
How can I solve?
Thanks
