Title: E-Smith Autorun?
Post by: Clint on August 21, 2003, 04:24:30 AM

Hey there. I finaly got my e-smith server installed and I'm working on configuring it to my tastes. I have installed several programs that have to be run manualy in order to work, and I was wondering if there was a way I could have these programs run automaticaly (game server, distributed computing, etc.). I would like to have them run each time the server computer it turned on.

Thanks for your help!

On a normal Linux distro you'd be wanting to look at /etc/init.d but I have a feeling that SME has it's own thing going on. Try searching all dates for something like 'rc.d AND auto' or 'init.d AND auto'. That should bring something up. You could also try the manual, there may be something in there...

Hi,

Just add a symbolic link in /etc/rc.d/rc7.d that points the actual startup script in /etc/rc.d/init.d. Your symbolic link name must start with S. look at  
/etc/rc.d/rc7.d for undrestanding of naming scheme.

Regards
