Topic: How do you use db files to enable/disable a new service

[jonroberts]

I have installed Lotus Domino server on my e-smith 5.6 (& posted a how-to) but would like to integrate it better within the e-smith structure.

I have an init.d script that will start Domino automatically & works with the usual start | stop | status etc. and I've created symlinks in the various rcx.d directories.  So it starts & stops as it should when the server starts & stops.

However I'd like to be able to disable it using /sbin/e-smith config setprop domino disable.

I've created the key using /sbin/e-smith set domino service status disabled and restarted.  I was kinda hoping that a key with the same name as the file in init.d would somehow kick-in & work.  Ah well.

So what else do I need to do?  I've gone through the forums & re-read the documentation but couldn't see it.  So any ideas would be most welcome.

I've sorted this now, but just in case anyone else is looking for the solution, this is what I did.

creating the file called domino in init.d was correct, but the symlinks to start the service should have been to e-smith-service, NOT directly to the domino file.

So this is what I needed:

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S89domino[/quote]
