Run at boot
Hi there Smilie!

I've set up my own openSuse server and It's working perfectly, but... Some stuff has to be executed at boot, but it won't. I've tried boot.local and init.d but nothing works. This are the things that needs to be execute:
Code:
# Free the SSH port
killall xinetd

# Run subversion
svnserve -r /svn -d

# Start Trac (after Apache start)
tracd -p 30 --auth="*",/project/passwd,trac -e /project --daemonize

How can I do this?

I would use the example init.d scripts that come with trac
and one similar to this one for svn server
Note in the trac one the header:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          tracd
# Required-Start:    networking
# Required-Stop:     networking
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start the tracd standalone Trac web server.
### END INIT INFO

This is very important on SuSE distro's as its used by "insserv" to decide what to start and when. If you add one of these headers to the svn serve init.d script above and save them both to /etc/init.d and tweak their settings for your installation.

Then use "chkconfig -del" to stop the xinetd service from starting (as opposed to using the "killall xinetd" entry - I assume thats what you want)

And then use "chkconfig -add" to enable the other two new scripts, and then run "insserv" it should automatically add the two scripts in at the right levels with the right dependencies.

Use "chkconfig -list" with a grep to display the new services to check they are now enabled, and reboot.

Hopefully this should sort all your startup issues in a nice SuSE way.

I hope this helps...

Hi thanks!! Smilie Subversion does work now, but I can't get Trac to work at startup. I've modified the code and now I have the following:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          tracd
# Required-Start:    
# Required-Stop:     
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start the tracd standalone Trac web server.
### END INIT INFO
# (C) 2008 Guy Rutenberg <http://www.guyrutenberg.com>
 
set -e
 
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
 
case "$1" in
  start)
	tracd -p 30 --auth="*",/project/passwd,trac -e /project --daemonize
	;;
  stop)
	killall tracd
	;;
  restart|force-reload)
	killall tracd
	;;
esac
 
exit 0

But, trac doesn't work. If I call /etc/init.d/trac start then it's started, but it doesn't start at boot. I did chkconfig --add trac. What can I do now?

What does "chkconfig --list | grep trac" give you ?

Old 01-28-2011
This:

trac 0: off 1: off 2: off 3: on 4: off 5: on 6: off

[EDIT]Ahh smileys :P

I editted the script but it still doesn't work Smilie :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
#	/etc/rc.d/init.d/trac
#
# Starts the Trac Daemon
#
# description: Trac Daemon

# processname: trac
 
set -e
 
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
 
case "$1" in
  start)
	tracd -p 30 --auth="*",/project/passwd,trac -e /project --daemonize
	;;
  stop)
	killall tracd
	;;
  restart|force-reload)
	killall tracd
	;;
esac
 
exit 0

Hmmm...the header on the init.d/trac says startup on runlevel 2, but the list says it isnt. Do you need to re-run "insserv" ? That should read the header and make the desired changes
# 7  
Old 01-28-2011
Now, I editted trac -> (See last post). The header is changed. But why doesn't it work at boot?
When I re-run insserv, I get this:
Code:
insserv: warning: script 'S01trac' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'S01subversion' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'trac' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'subversion' missing LSB tags and overrides
