Adding start up to linux
On the list of things to do after an install of SVN was to get Ubuntu to start the service at boot. This procedure will work for almost anything you’d like to do at boot. Step 1 – Create your script . Simply create a new file (I called mine startsvn) and type the command you’d like to run cd /etc/init.d/ sudo touch startsvn sudo vi startsvn svnserve -d -r /usr/local/svn/repository_name Step 2 – Save the script in the /etc/init.d/ folder Step 3 – Make the script executable sudo chmod +x startsvn Step 4 – Add the script to the boot sequence sudo update-rc.d startsvn defaults Another example say you want to start up your ColdFusion server at boot Step 1 create a link to your coldfusion script sudo ln -s /opt/coldfusion9/bin/coldfusion /etc/init.d/coldfusion Step 2 update the boot sequence sudo update-rc.d coldfusion defaults
