I currently have sendmail installed. It starts as a daemon but I want to avoid doing that. I want to start it manually.Also am a dynamic host.so every time i start my computer my ip changes. I use ddclient to update my records at dyndns.com.but how to configure sendmail in the case of dynamic hosts since it looks at the file /etc/hosts which contains information about the static hosts.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to run BoxBackup to sync a couple active servers to a data server. I installed the server and client, making sure to follow the instructions closely with all the certificates. The problem is the service daemon on the service won't even start. The service manage reports: "bbstored dead but pid file exists" (basically, tried to instantiate the process, but it died due to faults).
Here's the log of the daemon in /var/log/box
Code:

I've just installed subversion.I need to create a script /etc/init.d/svnserve that will start at boot time.I want to use start-stop-daemon --start so I can track my process and eventually kill it using start-stop-daemon --stop.My problem is that I can't get it to work and the documentation shows no exemple.
I've replaced $DAEMON by the whole line: svnserve -d -R -r $REPO_ROOT and got -d is not an option.I'm not quite sure what to do at that point. If someone has some experience with start-stop-daemon it would be great.
Just upgraded to F15 and I cannot seem to get the sendmail service starting at boot time.It starts and works just fine by hand after boot, so there's nothing wrong with the sendmail
configuration itself."runlevel" shows a current run level of 5 and "chkconfig" shows sendmail on for run level 5.All the other mail service (mailman, clamd, etc.) start fine.Doing "service sendmail start" after boot gets everything up and running just fine, but itsure would be nice to have it run at boot like it used to
Brand new to Linux. Sort of got thrown in front of the bus if you know what I mean. The company I work for has a Linux server running CentOS 5.4 Company uses Linux for their Email, FTP and Web Server. Have been here a few years dabbling in and out of Linux and now that the old Admin has left the company.....I need to learn it ASAP. The server has run pretty solid until today.
The email server runs SendMail and SpamAssasin. Received lots of complaints today regarding extra SPAM. Noticed that SpamAssassin was not running. Tried to restart it through the WebMin tools and got the following error: Starting spamd: child process [3956] exited or timed out without signaling production of a PID file: exit 255 at /usr/bin/spamd line 2588.
I have been trying to set up ssmtp so I can send email using Gmail's ssmtp servers. However, when I try to send mail (using mailx), I get the following message:

I've apparently messed up something I guess with the rc.M file. When I boot the system it goes to

I have a java service that needs to be run in a gnu screen session so that I can -r into it to access it's interactive shell. I would like this to run at start-up. More importantly, it crashes frequently so I need the service to restart itself when it crashes. How do I go about doing this myself? My previous experience with shell scripting amounts to putting ./service in a file and marking it executable. This will be running on a FreeBSD server, but I might put it on a Linux server soon also. So any caveats on the differences would be useful information.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a test server on which I'd like to run up to 30 separate instances of a program as daemons, each running on a different IP address bound to the server. I've created a init script that takes an additional command line parameter - the last octet of the IP address. For example:
Code:
sudo myprog 40 start
sudo myprog 41 start
This would run instances of the program on IP addresses 192.168.1.40 and 192.168.1.41 respectively. But it's looking like this approach isn't doable if I wish to have any or all of these run at startup, as the links in the rcN.d directories can only link to the init script, not pass a parameter.

How can I evaluate what started the MySQL daemon? WHy is it running?
I am having some trouble making the dropbox daemon start at boot. I followed these instructions -> [URL], which are basically a replica of the original instructions from the Dropbox Wiki [URL]. The installation went fine, except that the machine still cannot start the daemon at boot. I tried to modify the init.d script a bit (see the attachment), but it still wont work (I am not sure if my changes made any significant difference, though). The daemon will only start if I invoke it manually after login with the command:
Code:
[user@machine:~]$ service dropbox start
Which executes the daemon just fine. I also tried adding this line of code to crontab:
Code:
@reboot /etc/init.d/dropbox start
This command starts the daemon if I check with the command "service dropbox status", but if I execute the official dropbox CLI command:
Code:
~/bin/dropbox.py status
it says that Dropbox isn't running and I still have to execute it manually.
P.s.: The machine runs Ubuntu Server 10.04, with all the latest system patches and updates.
I would like to be able to simply run a shortcut file or batch file in a windows os to start or stop my transmission-daemon.I was thinking about using putty to auto login and execute a file using the -m switch. A problem I am running into is that /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stoprequires the use of sudo.That would require entering a password which would be automated and insecure or would require manually typing int he password.
