Ubuntu Servers :: Custom Service Start At Boot?
Jul 6, 2011
I have a few problems getting a custom service/daemon to auto-start at boot. I'm running ubuntu 11.04 Server amd64 edition. One of the services is a Teamspeak3 server I'm trying to start. I would like it to start up automatically on boot. ts3 already have a script with start/stop commands so all i have done is make a little script for it to get it to run as the correct user.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: ts3
# Required-Start: $all
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog $named
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5

I have a service/daemon that won't start from boot. I have used the chkconfig --add <script name> command that went ok I also used the chkconfig <script name> on and that seems to be fine and I have made the script executable Chmod 777 <filename>. By all account it looks like the script is running at boot the the services has not started. When I do a ps -ef | grep ndb_mgmd this process is no there. the script can be run from the console and sems to run fine!
#!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 345 70 30

I wonder how could I start my ruby on rails mongrel_cluster at the start of my openSUSE 11.0 Server and I don't have a GUI. So the shell solution would be good.

I performed the first update in 4 months to my Fedora 12 Constantine. I also removed a 'dial-up' package (figured i didnt need it) and the KDE package after the update. Firefox was not getting a connection to the internet at this point. The network view showed the ethernet as inactive. Everything besides Firefox appears to work fine.
I restart machine.
It boots until right after the fedora logo fills up. At this point my dual monitors go to sleep. No response from anything. When I start in interactive mode I hit y for everything. Everything works great until libvirtd, libvirt-guest, and local. After y on all three nothing happens. I can type on the screen but no response. It just sits there. I can boot into text mode and do whatever I want. What can I do? What other information do I need to move forward?
I have looked at the Xorg.0.?? i forget what its called. I am not versed in reading the messages in it. Same for the other logs I looked at.

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

I am running Server 10. I have a requirement to perform an action before the MySQL service starts, and perform another action after MySQL service stops.
I found the init script for MySQL under /etc/init/mysql.conf. I added my thing to the pre-start script there and works fine.
I am having trouble finding the script that stops the server so I can modify.

I have the Samba server & users configured, I can access between Linux/Windows shares and both SMB & NMB services are set to be enabled at boot.Everything working.But when I restart the computer, I notice in services configuration that "This service is dead." for NMB. Therefore I have to enable it manually upon boot so that it works.I'm using Fedora 10, fresh installed and updated. I've noticed through search that others have had this issue as well throughout other versions of Fedora, yet I have not found a conclusive solution to this.

I have a script in /etc/init.d that starts when the machine boots up, but doesn't stop when the the machine shuts down.This simple script recreates the problem. It just logs when the 'testservice' is started and stopped. When the shutdown -h now command is run, it should be called with the 'stop' parameter shouldn't it?
# Att /etc/init.d/testservice
#!/bin/sh

On macbook air 6.2, i've installed a Debian jessie mate DE, dual boot using refind. I'm currently fine-tuning it. I've made a script following powertop advice:
Code: Select all[newb@debian /etc/systemd/system]$ cat mba_kb_sp.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-3.1/power/control';
echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-3.2/power/control';
echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-5/power/control';
exit 0
[Code] ....
All seems to work fine, however when i check the sys file it didn't change. But I can start manually the systemd service and, this time, it works.

In an effort to reduce/eliminate adware, I installed Provoxy from the F12 repos using yumex. The config file is unchanged except for the addition of the this line: forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
I note that rpm placed the following (/etc/rc.d/init.d/privoxy), and that in that file are the following lines:
I seem to recall that network manager was changed somewhat to allow those using static ip addressing to NOT do dhcp on boot. Could this be the reason for the non-starting of the privoxy service on boot? Sometimes it starts on boot, and other times I must manually start it in Gnome's System->Services.
If these lines and the network starting is the problem, how do I fix it? Can I comment out these lines in this file, or is there somewheres else where I should be looking?

I am trying to create a custom service to manage a minecraft server what runs in a screen session (this is to allow easy console access as opposed to running it as a nohup background process). I am hitting two main issues with this script so far and wondering if anybody is able to shed some light on it, considering I am far from the greatest BASH scripter on Earth.
The issues are related to start and stop. the first issue with start is there is a command run "screen -dmS minecraft java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar /minecraft/minecraft.jar nogui" what doesn't appear to work, however when run from console (copy and pasted) this command seems to run perfectly. I am uncertain as to why this is not working within the script. Also if run from a script in /minecraft it also appears to work but in the minecraftd script I have created at /etc/init.d it does not work. I think the issue might be related to the location but am not certain on it, nor how to resolve it.
the second issue with stop is that it works sometimes but at other times it does not, overall it seems to work about 30~50% of the time. When it works it passes a couple of disconnection messages to the screen session and then gives the stop command (the command to gracefully terminate the minecraft server). It seems to work more often when using screen that I attach to the minecraft session while it is running but really not sure if this is an issue with my scripting or an issue with how I am passing things to screen.
The full code in /etc/init.d/minecraftd is below
Code:
#!/bin/bash

I have setup a CentOS 5.5 server as a DHCP server. That will be it's only task in a Cisco callmanger VoIP environment The DHCP server that comes with CentOS 5.5 is from ISC V3.0.5 -redhat.
The server (HP DL360) has two physical NIC's of which only NIC1 is used (ETH0)
ifconfig shows:
Code:
The interface has a fixed IP setup.
My dhcp.conf file looks like this:
Code:
When I start (try to) dhcpd via the service interface or via the prompt as
Code: service dhcpd start
I get an [FAILED] message and the following is in /var/log/messages
Code:
But when I start the DHCPD on the comamnd prompt in debug mode it looks as follows:
Code:
and /var/log/messages shows:
Code:
Why does the system ask a declaration for eth0 0.0.0.0?

Ubuntu server 10.04 comes with a new event based startup system, and I wonder if that can be responsible for this problem. The server has been upgraded from 9.10. On reboot mysql does not always manage to start... /var/log/mysql/error.log has info similar to this:
100511 19:05:00 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address
100511 19:05:00 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
100511 19:05:00 [ERROR] Aborting
So apparently port 3306 is not 100% unused when mysql tries to open it or somehow network connections are not ready, even if mysql start is supposed to wait for 'net-device-up' and 'local-filesystems' according to /etc/init/mysql.conf. This does not happen on all reboots. I am supposed to be able to start it manually with command 'start mysql' but that does not seem to work also. When I try start it again, it says mysql is running but no databases can be reached and mysqld is not active, reboot and good luck is all that helps...
As far as I know there are no firewalls installed, at least none I have manually configured and it has worked with no problems on 9.10. So this new upstart thing seems responsible. It simply does not let mysql wait until it can start in good way. That also explains why it's a random problem. If all starts happen when and if there is free processor time, it does not always start things in the same order on every reboot. The key here is port 3306, or whatever port mysql is configured to use. The upstart system simply needs delay the start until the port is 100% free and available for the system to use.

I know Ubuntu has changed the startup system in 10.04 and I am wondering how to go about starting my liferay server at boot (instead of starting manually).
There's already a startup script, can I setup a symlink to somewhere to have it start automatically?
I've tried searching through documentation and google but most of it applies to older versions of Ubuntu.

I have recently set up my web server using the LAMPP package for Ubuntu. Now I'm running Ubuntu Server 10 so my machine boots into the console and not gdm. Also I have my machine autologin as root so I can simply turn my server on and not mess around with logins. Now I created a simple shellscript for starting lampp and then I put it into etc/init.d/, chmod -x file.sh to give it executable permissions, then I update-rc.d file.sh defaults but nothing happens on startup. It simple takes me to the console and nothing more happens. I have to manually start lampp on every bootup.

Currently when the system boots, It boots jabberd2 before mysql. So jabber fails. Then, later mysql is loaded. I either want to force jabber to load mysql first, or make the system boot mysql first. I've tried changing /etc/init.d/jabberd2 to say "# Required-Start:
mysql $network $named $remote_fs"...
However, insserv says that mysql service has to be enabled... so I assume that's an issue because mysql is an upstart script.

Running Ubuntu Server 10.04 32 bit. Sometimes when I reboot it does not start up, It seems to be going through the boot process but then just hangs. I have had a look at the log files and can't see anything, but I'm not really sure what I am looking for.

I'm having some trouble with Tomcat 6 after upgrading to 10.10. During the upgrade process, the installer hung while dealing with Tomcat 6, which required me to kill the upgrade and do some clean up, and then re-run `apt-get upgrade` again to get things going. This left some weirdness (like the MOTD for both 10.10 and 10.04 being shown on login), but otherwise things are OK. The only remaining problem I have is Tomcat; it simply won't start when the server is booted. The information I have:
Tomcat 6 runs normally when started with `sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start`. No errors are thrown, everything works as expected.I used `rcconf` to try removing and reinstalling the rc scripts, this didn't help. I manually deleted all the rc scripts, then used `rcconf` again. The scripts all seem symlinked correctly to `/etc/init.d/tomcat6`, but it's just not coming up on boot. I ran `sudo grep "tomcat" /var/log/*.log` to see if something is appearing in the logs, but nothing of interest is there.
How can I verify that Ubuntu is even trying to start Tomcat? As this is a development box, I am not adverse to a quick + dirty solution if there's some either simple way of getting it started at boot. I'm thinking the next Ubuntu release will see me blow away the server and start it fresh, but right now I'd just like a working box

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.
