Startup Script "run process with Timer"
Hi
I have a script that execute every X minute for checking new files in a folder and converting to pdf.
Is there any way to start this script automatically on linux startup?. I use sleep function in script with infinite loop.
while [ 1 -lt 2 ]
do
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
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
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

script - make record of a terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename] DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS. The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it. NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |CSI |Enabled | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
attributes(5) WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script. SunOS 5.11 30 Jan 2004 script(1)
