hi everyone...
we have to run any python file e.g. show.py at startup..i.e. when OS starts it runs automatically.
we are proceeding this way,
writing a startup script named forfyp2 ,pasting it in init.d , making it exe using chmod , creating startup links using update-rc.d forfyp2 defaults. After this i think i should run at stratup automatically, but it is not ..please tell if any errors r there..thank you.
code is here...
Code:
Code:
#! /bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO# Provides: forfyp2# Required-Start: $local_fs $syslog $remote_fs # Required-Stop: $local_fs $syslog $remote_fs# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5# Default-Stop: 0 1 6# Short-Description: Start the usrpcode### END INIT INFODESC=forfyp2.shDAEMON3=/etc/init.d/show.pycase "$1" in start) su - sarosh -c "sudo python $DAEMON3 start" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON3 || true ;; stop) su - sarosh -c "$DAEMON3 stop" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec $DAEMON3 || true ;;restart|force-reload) $0 stop $0 start ;; status) status_of_proc "$DAEMON3" "$DESC" && exit 0 || exit $? ;; *) N=/etc/init.d/forfyp2 # echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|status}" >&2 echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status}" >&2 exit 1 ;;esacexit 0# vim:not
where show.py is a file just for testing
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
raw_input("This is a test\nPress [ENTER] key to exit")
Your script is barely readable (because of the format, so you probably might already be doing, what I have suggested below)
On most unix flavors there are certain rules for init.d scripts.
One of the biggest one is that these scripts should respond to "start" and "stop" as the first argument.
also look into your syslog (typically /var/log/syslog). That should show if there are any errors.
Also replace the #! line in your script with
Code:
!# /bin/sh -x
The -x will show a line by line execution in the syslog. (Dont forget to remove the -x once your issue is resolved)
Hope these few tips help.
