How do I turn it into a REAL daemon?

hotplainrice · 2005-09-20 23:47:03

Im running this call of duty server, made a wrapper script to enclose my parameters and pass it to the real binary that starts the server.

this is what i do whenever i want to start it.
$ cd /to/the/directory/of/cod
$ ./START_SERVER

how do i integrate it into the system startup?

Thanks.

You'll need to create a script similar to the ones in /etc/rc.d
Check /etc/rc.d/syslog-ng for example.
Once that's done, put it in the /etc/rc.d directory with the other ones and add it's name to the DAEMONS array of rc.conf.

you mean...daemonize your script, or turn the script into an rc.d script that starts your daemon?

or you can put it into /etc/rc.local.
