RC Script for LISA (KDE LAN Browsing Daemon) [wiki]

If you want to easily browse Samba and other shares on your local network (with KDE), LISA is what you need. It comes with the kdenetwork package. To start it on every boot, copy the script below to /etc/rc.d/lisa and add lisa to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf. Remember to chmod +x the file to make it executable.

#!/bin/bash

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

case "$1" in

  start)
    stat_busy "Starting LAN Browsing Daemon"
    /opt/kde/bin/lisa &>/dev/null
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
    else
      add_daemon lisa
      stat_done
    fi
  ;;

  stop)
    stat_busy "Stopping LAN Browsing Daemon"
    kill -9 `pidof /opt/kde/bin/lisa` &>/dev/null
    rm_daemon lisa
    stat_done
  ;;

  restart)
    $0 stop
    $0 start
  ;;

  *)
    echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac

You can configure LISA settings from Control Center -> Internet and Network -> Local Network Browsing.

This uses the same template as all the other RC scripts that come with Arch Linux. Have fun!

I bet, if you submitted that file in a bug report, you could get it added to the kdenetwork package.  It's a startup script for something that's included in the package and should probably be in there.

My post has been posted on the wiki, it could do with some editing to make it clearer.

It probably should come with the package, otherwise the 'LAN Browser' option in Konqueror's new 'Services' sidebar is a bit useless ;-)

Is lisa necessary? Can't we just browse samba shares through remote places from about:konqueror the same way?

Thanks in advance!
