[opensuse] Starting things as root at boot time
I've recently installed the Squid web proxy cache. To start the daemon, I have to su and type /usr/sbin/squid. Is there a simple way of doing this automagically whenever I start my machine? -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.1, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

- guess you could put it in: /etc/init.d/boot.local best wishes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That will fail, the network is not up. Just tell yast to start that service. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

All such services are normally started by the init system, not by manual intervention. BTW your squid proxy package was from the suse install CD right? Just go into yast->system->runlevel manager and tick off the "start at boot" box next to squid. Or, to do it from the command line, you can just type "chkconfig -a squid" Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

First look at the files in /etc/init.d Then look at the files in /etc/init.d/boot.d /etc/init.d/rcS.d (Single User/Maintenance mode -- root filesystem only) /etc/init.d/rc1.d (Sinlge User with all filesystems mounted) /etc/init.d/rc2.d (Multi-user) /etc/init.d/rc3.d (Multiuser with network services) /etc/init.d/rc4.d (unused in most Distros including Suse) /etc/init.d/rc5.d (Multiuser, Networked, with GUI /etc/init.d/rc6.d (Reboot) And observe the pattern See also: man init -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
