Topic: script startup

[carachi]

Hello,
I installed Kannel on my SME Server and I added the script for the startup in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and  I added on chkconfig the script,
but it doesn't start on boot of server!

Why??

Thank you

Moving to SME 7.x Contribs where it is more appropriate.

SME Server is not just plain linux as it is geared to be managed through server-manager and not through the command line. Therefore some special mechanisms are in place. You should familiarize yourself with it and the best start is to read the manual which is available in the wiki.

Why??

That is hard to say with th every limited amount of information you are providing. Please keep in mind that we are not at the terminal of your machine and do not know what instructions you entered exactly and what you observe. We can only guess.
Your best bet is to investigate for error messages by starting to look through /var/log/messages for clues. If you want us to help you you should provide us with more information.

you have to do it in the SME's way:

Code: [Select]

config set kannel service status enabled
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S99kannel

pay attention to upper/lower case

please take some time to read the dev's manual, thank you
