hi i installed e17 from cvs. entrance comes with a default script in init.d/ i moved it to rc.d/ and added it to daemons in rc.conf. but it doesn't start. at boot up i don't get any errors.
here is the script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Originally based on: gdm /etc/init.d script on debian
#
# THIS DOESN'T WORK YET atmos - May 6, 2002
# THIS DOES WORK! atmos - May 27, 2002
# THIS WORKS WITH LSB! azundris - May 23, 2004
# /etc/init.d/entrance

case "$1" in

echo -n "Becoming entranced: entrance"
$DAEMON

echo -n "Stopping Entrance: entrance"
kill -9 `cat $PIDFILE`
echo "."

restart)
$0 stop
$0 start

echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
what can i change to make it start up?

Are you sure that it does not start? type
/etc/rc.d/entrance start
ps -edf | tail
is there entranced at the end?
because the script is not Arch standard script so arch will not tell you if it comes up or not, take a llook at one of the scripts already there in rc.d and make it look like one of them if it ain't launching, also try launching the prog directly first
/opt/e17/sbin/entranced
any errors? did it run ? ..

yeah, it doesn't start. I can start entrance manually by typing
/opt/e17/sbin/entranced
but on boot it doesn't start eventhough i don't get any errors during boot.

it appears to me that entrance-cvs from fouiny_repo add /etc/rc.d/entranced in the install process
Hope it works for you ! Otherwise /opt/e17/sbin/entranced works from inittab
