Topic: configuration db and chkconfig

[william_syd]

Whats the relationship between the configuration db and chkconfig in regards to services ?

[byte]

I don't think there is a relationship because of the way sme works, don't quote me on it as I may be incorrect.

chkconfig is not used in SME server, and will not be effective if you try to use it.

Thanks CharlieBrady.

Thats what I thought.

However supervise/runit is giving me difficulty.

I'm attempting to run a program(mpg123) at startup using supervise(runit)

So far I have,

Created directory

Code: [Select]

/var/service/mpg123
and

Code: [Select]

/var/service/mpg123/log

In the newly created directories placed a run file consisting of

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

exec 2>&1

exec /usr/sbin/mpg123 /root/music.mp3

and

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

exec                                    \
    /usr/local/bin/setuidgid smelog     \
    /usr/local/bin/multilog t s5000000  \
    /var/log/mpg123
   
I also created

Code: [Select]

/var/log/mpg123
I created a db entry

Code: [Select]

db configuration set mpg123 service status enabled
and the following symbolic links

Code: [Select]

ln -s /var/service/mpg123 /service/mpg123
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/daemontools /etc/rc.d/init.d/supervise/mpg123
and finally

Code: [Select]

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S98mpg123
The result of

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc7.d/S98mpg123 start
is

Code: [Select]

Starting mpg123:                                           [  OK  ]

yet there is no sound.

So, what have I left out?
Do I still need a init script?
What signal-event's should I be doing?

BTW,

Code: [Select]

/usr/sbin/mpg123 /root/music.mp3
does produce music.

Code: [Select]

[root@tiger ~]# /usr/sbin/mpg123 /root/music.mp3

The desire to do this started here and here.

Wow, the above does work.

Had a typo in my run script that the log file revealed.

Code: [Select]

exec /user/sbin/mpg123 /root/music.mp3

Well, rebooted, music started, song finished and song restarted.

Now I have to get it working with a playlist and reduce the amount of 'log noise'.

Plus put it into a howto including permissions of the files.
