Debian :: Start Services After Installation?
Feb 9, 2011When installing a package that runs a service why is that service started? Surely, this flies in the face of convention and security.

Debian Installation :: Upgrade Etch To Lenny: No Version Bump, Auto-start Services?
Feb 24, 2010On my debian web server I curently have ImageMagick 6.3.7 08/07/09 Q16 since this is an old version of imagemagick i wanted to upgrade my system that still runs etch, and afterwards upgrade imagemagick. I can not see what version the current lenny imagemagick package has, but I assume it is newer then 6.3.7, no?
When i ugraded I found out that my apt-sources used stable rather than etch. So I already had a mix of lenny and etch I suppose. I then had > cat /etc/debian_version 4.0 Before I upgraded I changed my apt sources from stable to etch, updated the package-tools and did a dist-upgrade (for details, I followed these instructions). After restarting I have still 4.0 as debian version. Also uname -r is 2.6.17. How can I do a correct update?.
Also my services were not started (ftp,ssh, apache2), so I asked my hoster to start the ssh service. This morning everything was up again, but it seems like nobody there have had a look at this. How do I absolutely ensure that my ssh service is start at boot. It is a remote webserver, so I need at least this service to be running.
Debian :: Start Services Without Root?
Feb 22, 2010I've a little Server and wanna start the services (postfix, apache, etc.) without root. My problem is, that I've installed GroupOffice and I allways got errors about permisions in some folder. When I took a look, some of the folder the apache created were from root some from www-data. After some searches in the Internet I've read that only the root user is allowed to start a Service at Ports 1-1024 or something like that...
I've already searched for programs which give the rights to the applications / unlocks them with root for a certain application ... but I've no more idea what words to search for.
Where is that **itt implemented? Is it possible to disable that?
How can I start the services without giving them root privileges?! It's a security issue after all.
Debian :: Delay Mediatomb Services Start
Mar 4, 2015I have moved from a raspberry pi to an olimex LIME A20. I have managed to get everything working correctly except mediatomb. I have a USB drive attached, I believe that mediatomb is trying to read the drive before it's mounted leaving me with an empty database.
After boot I can create the mediatomb database which works until I reboot the computer. What can I try to delay the mediatomb services start?

Ubuntu Installation :: Several Services Don't Start At Boot?

It's possible start them manually (e.g. /etc/init.d/cups start). The other problem is that my virtual terminals (ctrl + alt + f[1-6]) aren't starting with the system too

View 9 Replies View RelatedDebian Installation :: Suspend / Resume / Restore Services Under Systemd On Jessie
May 11, 2015Fixing my chronic suspend/resume problems turned out to be easier under systemd, but like everything else lacks documentation.
To suspend rather than power off when pressing the power button, I edited /etc/systemd/login.conf
uncommenting this line and changing it to suspend:
HandlePowerKey=suspend
and uncommenting the line
HandleLidSwitch=suspend
Some services were lost on resume. This problem seems common. To run a command on resume, I believe you have to make your own script, and create a systemd file to run it.
My script is /home/james/.bin/james-resume.service, which contains:
#! /bin/sh
/sbin/hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda
This must be executable. Ownership doesn't seem to matter.
To run it, I made a file in /etc/systemd/systen/suspend.target.wants
The file name must match the script name:
/etc/systemd/system/suspend.target.wants/james-resume.service
This contains:
[Unit]
Description=Run James jobs at resume
After=suspend.target
After=hibernate.target
After=hybrid-sleep.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/james/.bin/james-resume.service
[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target
WantedBy=hibernate.target
WantedBy=hybrid-sleep.target
Ownership must be root.root. Apparently it doesn't need to be executable.
Then enable with:
sudo systemctl enable james-resume.service
and check with:
sudo systemctl status james-resume.service
If it says the service is loaded, it's OK -- inactive only means it's done running.
Ubuntu :: None Of The Services Start?
Feb 9, 2010I am running ubuntu 9.10 with the latest patches and all the prerelase patches. At some point and i am not sure when something broke and none off the services start during the boot. Also the virtual consoles do not start. The only services that start are the one that are controlled by the gnome session. In addition i cannot start the rescue mode. It stops loading at same point where the console should show up. I am guessing that the problem is related to the upstart but i am not sure. I never ever had problems with boot in linux and this is very frustrating. I feel like i am running windows and dont know how to troubleshoot. I cannot see anything in the log that would give me a hint? I dont know where too look. I tried to activate the bootlogd but it does not work. Probably beacause the services dont start correctly. Something broke and one of the updates must changed something but i dont know what and where? Anyone can recommend where to look? How do i see the interactive boot? I tried remove the splash and quiet from grub config but i could not see anything there. I got too fast to the x login.

View 14 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Standard Services Do Not Start At Boot?
Feb 17, 2010I've been running Ubuntu 9.10 since November '09, and since a month or so I'm having boot problems. Gnome starts, but some core services such as ssh and dnsmasq (that have started on boot somewhere in time), don't start anymore. Neither does rc.local fire, so I basically have to startup these things by hand.
Also, I cannot get into the console anymore by using ctrl+alt+f*, because it gives a message like: Starting ntpd or starting libgcrypt 1.4.4, or something in that fashion.
My belief is that something is holding the boot procedure in a waiting state before services such as ssh get to start, but I can't seem to find anything in the log files.

Fedora :: Services (Haproxy And Stunnel) Failing To Start
Dec 3, 2009I have 2 services registered one for HAProxy and one for stunnel. When I type service start haproxy or service start stunnel they start and everything works fine. I ran ntsysv and they are set as autostart, and I have init.d scripts that work. I have checked the runlevel and using chkconfig runlevel 3, 4 and 5 are :on. And I also added service haproxy start and service stunnel start to inittab. But when I restart the computer haproxy and stunnel fail to autostart. I am a fedora novice and I have no idea why this isn't working...

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 10.04 Correct Way To Start Stop Disable Services?
Aug 25, 2010With the advent of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS People are migrating servers to the latest LTS. One fundamental thing that has changed is the move to Upstart. In the old days to stop multidaemon service such as Samba, one would simply type /etc/init.d/samba stop and to disable it from starting on boot one would simply type update-rcd samba disable.
Now its the year 2010 and in 10.04 it seems on has to edit a bunch of files, etc. Is there not an easy tool to correctly and properly disable services on startup in 10.04 consistently? in Redhat/Mandrake 10 years ago it was simply
Code:
service smb off
In Ubuntu 10.04 its
1) edit /etc/init/smbd.conf and modify the line that says
Code:
stop on runlevel [!2345]
and change it to
[Code]...
And one has to remember all these changes when the get ready to enable the samba service in the future? This can't be right.I know I must be missing something here. or maybe overlooked something in the upstart documentation.Which seems quite sparse by the way. So the question remains. How does one simply disable a multidaemon service starting on boot such as samba. Any tool to do this ? Is the above the correct method recommended by Canonical to disable services? and enable them?
Ubuntu :: Method To Start / Stop Services Under Upstart
Jan 22, 2011I installed MySQL and Apache2 to develop & test out the site I'm writing. However since I'll be using them purely for internal use (not exposed to the Net), I don't want them to start with every boot-up, but would like to start them manually when I desire, and stop them after use.With previous Ubuntu (Jaunty) I'd used chkconfig to configure services, but since the current version (Maverick) uses Upstart, is chkconfig still applicable?
I also installed 'bum' (Boot-Up Manager), but strangely, it displays the MySQL server as "unchecked" even though it's running (and starts at boot-up), so I cant see how I can prevent it from starting at boot-up through bum. chkconfig also displays MySQL as not active at runlevel 5, when in fact, it is.
I'd like to know what's the recommended (official) way to configure boot-up services with the Upstart system? I don't suppose directly editing the *.conf files in /etc/init is the best (or even correct) way?

Server :: Start Services Without User Login - Centos 5.5?
Oct 4, 2010I installed Centos 5.5 on a home PC to be used remotely.
All server daemons work fine but only start if the user is logged in.
How do I set the SSH server to start whenever the PC is turned on, rather than when the user is logged in? I read the chkconfig man page online but couldn't find anything.
Plus I put a script in my startup services to be run whenever the computer boots (I'm guessing when the users logs in). How do I go about setting that to run too whenever the system boots instead?

Fedora :: PC Boots And Start Running The Services The Screen Just Hangs?
Jun 10, 2011 Last time I installed the ATI graphics driver on my PC, it was'nt working fine so I uninstalled that driver. I restarted the PC after uninstalling the driver but then, when PC boots and start running the services the screen just hangs and I don't get into the desktop.
I tried to run the xfs service using service xfs restart and also gdm service using service gdm restart, but in both the cases it shows that Unrecognized Service. So, I think it means that the package for xfs and gdm service is not available in my PC. Is that so?
I tried to get into the desktop by running startx but it gave the following error :-
Fatal Server Error: no screen found
consult the fedora project support at [URL] for help.
check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

May 16, 2010After upgrading Centos 5.4 cluster nodes to 5.5 all virtual services failed to start. All virtual services are marked as 'failed'. The reason: new /usr/share/cluster/vm.sh requires 'which', but this is not reflected in rgmanager-2.0.52-6.el5.centos.
Solution: run 'yum -y install which' on all nodes, and reboot cluster. Hope that will save somebody hours of downtime.
