I'm looking to run a program automatically on boot (but before login). I was think to add this to rc.local but it would appear that this file doesn't exist in Angstrom. Where should I put my script?

I installed ActiveMQ, set up an init.d script and was able to start | stop | restart ActiveMQ from the init.d script. However, when I tried to use:
>sudo chkconfig --add activemq
upstart seemed not to like it. Having NO documentation on how to create a daemon that works with Upstart on the Ubuntu forums, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea why my init.d script doesn't convert.I'm using Ubuntu 10.x.x but this happens on 9.x.x also.
Here is my script..
Code:
#!/bin/bash

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: activemq

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat I want to do is create a custom live USB startup of ubuntu.
I know how to create a usb startup from the iso (any ubuntu iso), with the usb startup disk tool.
Is it possible to add some software to it, for example suppose I want it to have exaile and wireshark (or any software) already installed.
How can I do that ?
Firstly, what's the best way to execute commands on startup, cron? Can I use su in a shell script to switch between different users, if so how?
How do I create several detached screen sessions on startup? screen -A -m -d -S test ./script.sh seems like it should work but using it in a script started by cron doesn't show any screen sessions running after booting.
It looks like the screen session is closed after the command finishes executing, can I keep it open so I can see the output?
At the Get Slackware page at the Slackware website it gives a list of addresses which when I click one of the addresses it redirects to another page with a list of mirror images. Which address and which mirror image do I need to work with Kubuntu 11.04 on my netbook so I can create a USB startup disk? With my connection speed these mirror image downloads take about an hour and a half and I cannot just be guessing which mirror image to download.

The above is the error message I get when I try to create an usb-flash boot drive. I downloaded the iso for Mint10 and use the "create startup disk" program to create the boot drive. I can see both the iso and the flash drive within the program, but when I click on "create disk" I get the above error message?
I am trying to cross compile php for "arm" target using "arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi" tool chain. Apache compilation was successful after using a few ac_cv configuration options(and a few others to get rid of compile errors). But was unable to compile php for the target, as the 'apxs' file used was not executable in the build machine.
I tried creating an apxs file for the build machine architecture(intel 686), and using it. It was able to compile then, but still php page is not getting displayed on the web server. (Have done the procedures like, loading the libphp5 module on httpd conffile and all)
I recently bought an host to have a personal website and would like to create a bash script to create make a mirror copy of it and then add it to crontab to run once a week. Essentially what I want to do is to get the website by using wget -m ftp://user***@ftp.host/mydir
Once this is done I'd like to have everything in an archive called mysite.date.tar.7z I've no experience at all of bash scripting but I guess this should be an easy task? How to make the user and password not visible ? Is there any other option better than wget? (maybe rsync it works better?)
i am running into few problems with the script here. I have an FTP server, all configured, and i need to have a script that will create a folder with current dated within a tree as soon as particular user logs in. I was wondering if that is possible with proftpd. if not, can someone suggest how to create a script that will simply create a DIR with date and autorun itself every 24 hours? i am running Debian/Proftpd with Mysql authorization.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to the 10.04 and everything works just fine as before (except for skype but that really doesn't matters as it has already been 3 years I'm using ubuntu and I managed to get it to work only once, for miracle I believe ^^). The only real issue I have is this: when I start up my laptop, after the log-in, no sound will be heared as the "speaker" volume level in alsamixer is set to 0; if I raise it from the terminal running alsamixer (as I don't know any other alternative) everything plays just fine, but the next time I boot I do have to do it all over again... So, how can I change the default startup level of the "speaker" in alsamixer?
PS: by the way I do have the very same issue with the screen luminosity but the other way round as is always starts at maximum brightness and I can't manage to get it to start at the minimum, as it did before. At least reducing the backlight if far more quick but a couple of times I forget it and the battery lasted something like half an hour
EDIT: Whoops. Just realized that there is a Networking subforum. Apologies. In 10.04, I am able to get to the dialog in NM that asks for the network name and security for the creation of a new wireless network. However, the "Connect" button is grayed out and filling out all fields doesn't allow me to press it. I assume that this means that either there is a problem with my configuration or that my network card is not supported. Here is the lshw entry for my wireless card:
Code:
*-network
description: Wireless interface
product: PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection
vendor: Intel Corporation
[Code]...
EDIT2: Well, I was able to make an ad hoc connection via "Edit Connections" This seems to be a bug in the NetworkManager dialog.
I bought a web hosting account(cPanel) and I want to create my own name server(ns1 and ns2.mydomain.com). So when I want to host addon domain, I can point them to my name server instead of hosting company name server.

I am writing a script that runs on boot that needs to use scp to get a file. If I run this script after the system boots it works great, scp asks for a password like it should. When this script runs during startup, scp does not ask for a password and so it fails to authenticate. If I use read or mount a LUKS volume at startup the system waits for input like it should. Only scp fails to wait for input.Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it? Switching to key-based authentication is not an option.

I'm using KeePass with mono under Ubuntu 9.10 and it work fine.
But now I want that it run automatically, so I wrote the script below and inserted it on /etc/init.d and gives it root permission. But when I do login, nothings happen.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# make KeePass run at startup

When I turn on the computer, the Grub2 shows up and asks me to choose what OS to start. And from today on, whatever I choose, I end up with nothing. When Linux (Ubuntu) is chosen, then the blinking logo is shown (depicting it's loading) and after some time I can only see a black screen. In case when Windows is chosen, the black screen appears immediately. Kive cd works fine but don't know what I could do with it. A week ago I changed a booting order in my BIOS, so that GRUB2 is loading very fast now. Then I also chose: sudo dkpg-reconfigure grub-pc and selected the disk that had my boot partition. For a week or so it worked fine.
