Hi All,

I'm trying to build a start up script, wud be gr8 if any one can explain what the below field means and how can i check it for my script.

DAEMON_PATH="/home/wes/Development/projects/myapp"
DAEMON=myapp
DAEMONOPTS="-my opts"

NAME=myapp
DESC="My daemon description"
PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid
SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME

Hi Karthick,

Just a little bit more info would be good, like the OS and the shell that you expect this to run in!

Oops, sorry dave should have given it before.

I'm using a ubuntu server and it would be a bash script.

Thanks

Hi Karthick,

OK, well there is a lot of quite good stuff out there for Ubuntu. A good place to have a look at when searching for this type of info is github and there are lots of examples, check out this one here.

It may be of some help.

Regards

Dave
