Start Openfire at boot?

[tfunky]

Hi All!

I know this is a noob question, but I can't figure it out...

I've followed the openfire on Etch howto and have the server up and running if I manually start the service after a reboot.

How do I make the server start at boot?

The command to start the server is:

/opt/openfire/bin/openfire start

Can someone please tell me how to make it restart (on Etch) at boot?

Thanks!

Isn't there an Openfire init script in /etc/init.d? What's the output of

ls -l /etc/init.d

?

LOpenFire:~#

It's not there.

The howto had me copy everything to /opt.

I'm wondering if I need to copy the startup file to that init.d dir?

[falko]

Try this:

cp /opt/openfire/bin/openfire /etc/init.d
update-rc.d openfire defaults

[tfunky]

I thought that would do it! That was what I was looking for thinking it would work.

Somethings still not right though...

if I do a

/etc/init.d/openfire start

I get a error:

The directory /etc/lib does not exist.

but if I do a search in the openfire file, it doesn't have a line with /etc/lib in it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

[falko]

Ok, try this:

rm -f /etc/init.d/openfire
vi /etc/init.d/openfire

Put this into the file:

#!/bin/bash
/opt/openfire/bin/openfire start

Afterwards make the file executable:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/openfire

[tfunky]

That worked!

That got it squared away like a charm!

If you don't mind me troubling you for a bit more info...

Do you have any idea why that worked and the

cp /opt/openfire/bin/openfire /etc/init.d
update-rc.d openfire defaults

didn't work?

I thought the way to do it was the update-rc.d part was the correct way to do it.

Do you know what would cause it not to work vs. the 2nd option where it did?

Thanks for your help Falko!!!!!!

[falko]

I guess the /opt/openfire/bin/openfire script is somehow looking for files in the current working directory (/opt/openfire/bin/); if the script is in /etc/init.d, that's not working because the directory has changed.

[tfunky]

Interesting! I'll keep this in mind in the future!

Thanks for your help!
