Hi guys,
I'm just attempting to create a startup script for Xmms2 so that the
service can autostart on boot!
So far I have Google'd around and found very little, the most promising
site was this:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/rc-scripting/rcng-daemon.html
which gives a script of this:
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.subr
name="mumbled"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/usr/sbin/${name}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
So far I have modified the script to look like this:
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.subr
name="xmms2-launcher"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/usr/local/bin/${name}" -u kaya
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
and given it the name xmms2-launcher, the location of the script is in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/
I also have this line in /etc/rc.conf:
xmms2-launcher_enable="YES"
Only when I attempt to start the script I get this information back:
-u: not found
xmms2-launcher_enable=YES: not found
./xmms2-launcher: WARNING: $xmms2-launcher_enable is not set properly -
see rc.conf(5).
Cannot 'start' xmms2-launcher. Set xmms2-launcher_enable to YES in
/etc/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of 'start'.
I would like to start the daemon as user kaya which is why I have the -u
added in the script but am completely lost now as I'm not great at
scripting since this is quite advanced for the simple stuff I do know about!
Can anyone help me??
Many thanks and best regards,
Kaya
