Topic: Automatically start a service, that's not in Config DB

[NickCritten]

Hi All,

I would like to have the snmptrapd service start at boot time, but as it doesn't have an entry in the config DB I've no idea how to do this.

I've already created /etc/sysconfig/snmptrapd.options with my preferred arguments, and set up everything else I need with template fragments.

The service starts absolutely fine if I manually issue a

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/snmptrapd start However I need for the service to start when the machine reboots.

Can anyone please advise how to do this within the SME Standards?

Many thanks,

Nick

db configuration set snmptrapd service status enabled
cd /etc/rc7.d
ln -s ../init.d/e-smith-services ./S80snmptrapd

For example
