Rc.d scripts at startup

[Wolfi83]

hi,

i want that a script are executed as daemon on a systemstart.
is that the only thing i have to do?

So, i mean, i only want rc.d script thats starts a .sh e.g.

#host myrcdscript start

- starts the run.sh

#host myrcdscript stop

- starts the stop.sh

I suspect you're trying to do the wrong thing, but maybe daemon(8) will help you.

 

[Wolfi83]

I just want to do it this way also:
if i restart my system and the system is going up the system (rc.d) have to autostart execute a runup.sh
just like mysql but without a daemon just execute the runup.sh

Simplest way is to start the script in /etc/rc.local or in root's crontab with the @reboot time.

What i've to do for this @reboot?
So what i have to edit

 

[DutchDaemon]

crontab(5)

 

[Wolfi83]

crontab(5)

so

@reboot	*	*	*	*   root	sh   /root/test.sh

?

No, as the manual show, @reboot replaces the time fields (so all asterisks), which is logical when you think about it. And use [cmd=]crontab -e[/cmd] as the root user, don't edit /etc/crontab. Also make sure your shell script has full path names to all commands.

Is at possible any way that the crontab starts my shell 10 minutes after the system start?

Have the script or crontab entry sleep 600 before doing anything.

 

[DutchDaemon]

Yes, something like this is in root's crontab entirely possible:

@reboot     /bin/sleep 600 && some_script
