Ubuntu Init Script?

[aemadrid]

Has anybody come up with a good init script for Debian/Ubuntu and would like to share?

Do you request an init script tio start MONyog in Ubuntu – so that MONyog will start with the OS?

[aemadrid]

Yes, exactly. RH systems get it with the RPM but the tar file doesn't have anything like it.

You can install scripts like below in the init.d

Step 1 : Created a script called MONyogd in the /etc/init.d/

Step 2 : Copy the following into the script. ( Change the MONyog installation directory if it is not /usr/local/ , it is defined in INSTALLDIR variable in the script)

#!/bin/bash

INSTALLDIR=”/usr/local”

MONYOGBIN=”$INSTALLDIR/MONyog/bin/MONyog”

case “$1” in

'start')

echo “Starting MONyog: “

if [ $((`pgrep MONyog-bin | wc -l`)) -gt 0 ]; then

echo “MONyog is already running.”

else

# Start MONyog.

$MONYOGBIN start

if [ $((`pgrep MONyog-bin | wc -l`)) -gt 0 ]; then

echo “MONyog started successfully!”

else

echo “Unable to start MONyog.”

exit 0

fi

fi

;;

'stop')

if [ $((`pgrep MONyog-bin | wc -l`)) -gt 0 ]; then

echo -n “Sending MONyog signal to stop: “

pkill -15 -x MONyog-bin

echo -n “Shutting down: “

echo ” “

echo “MONyog stopped successfully!”

else

echo “MONyog is not in memory…”

fi

;;

'reload'|'restart')

echo “Restarting MONyog…”

$0 stop

$0 start

;;

'status')

if [ $((`pgrep MONyog-bin`)) -gt 0 ]; then

echo -n “MONyog is running!”

echo ” “

else

echo -n “MONyog is NOT running!”

echo ” “

fi

;;

*)

echo “Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}”

exit 1

;;

esac

Step 3 : make the script executable by chmod +x /etc/init.d/MONyogd

Step 4 : Use Debian utility update-rc.d to install the script.

update-rc.d MONyogd defaults

This will make MONyog start up in boot time. You can also issue service MONyogd start/stop/restart/status any time to have the respective action done.

Thanks so much! I hacked one out of nginx but this is so much cleaner.
