What is the '/var/run/$NAME.pid' referred to in this skeleton script? And how do I establish this? (I compiled Mysql and Apache)
Also, I start Apache by issuing the command "apachectl start" and stop it by issuing "apachectl stop." It is in /usr/local/apache/bin/. Is "/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl" the "DAEMON" referred to in this script? I take it that "apache" would be the "NAME," Correct? > On Tue, Aug 08, 2000 at 11:23:49PM -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I am trying to get Debian automatically to start, 1) MySQL and 2) > > Apache > > According to the FAQs, rc.local does not work and I am > supposed to > develop some scripts in /etc/init.d which take the > arguments start', > `stop', `reload', `restart' or `force-reload' > > > First of all, all I want to do is to start these automatically upon > > boot up.
