How to execute a shell script on startup?
- by vijay.shad
I have create a script to start a server(my first question). Now I want it to run on the system boot and start the defined server. What should I do to get this done?
My findings tell me put this file in /etc/init.d location and it will execute when the system will boot. But I am not able to understand how the first argument on the startup will be start? Is this predefined somewhere to use start as $1? If I want to have a case startall that will start all the servers in the script, then what are the options I can manage.
My Script is like this:
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 (start|stop|restart)"
;;
esac
