Subj : Binkd: inetd.conf or daemon? To : Jon Watson From : Robert Couture Date : Fri Jun 18 2004 01:09 pm Hello Jon. 17 Jun 04 14:14, you wrote to all: JW|> Thanks for any help! I am running it on start up using this: /ect/init.d/binkd === Cut === #! /bin/bash # # BinkD Start/Stop the BinkD Daemon. # # Source function library. if [ -f /etc/init.d/functions ] ; then . /etc/init.d/functions elif [ -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions ] ; then . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions else exit 0 fi RETVAL=0 # See how we were called. prog="BinkD" start() { echo -n $"Starting $prog: " daemon --user fido /opt/fido/bin/binkd /opt/fido/etc/binkd.cfg -D -C -q RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/binkd return $RETVAL } stop() { echo -n $"Stopping $prog: " killproc binkd RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/binkd return $RETVAL } restart() { stop start } reload() { echo -n $"Reloading BinkD daemon configuration: " killproc binkd -HUP retval=$? echo return $RETVAL } case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) restart ;; reload) reload ;; condrestart) [ -f /var/lock/subsys/binkd ] && restart || : ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|reload|restart|condrestart}" exit 1 esac exit $? === Cut === Now this is on a Fedora Core 2 machine (upgraded from a RH 9.0) so YMMV. Just put the Start and Kill in the appropriate runtimes and you are set. Of course, since I have never run Debian, I have no idea if this will also work for you, but hopefully, it will at least point you in some direction.
