creating a new daemon
All, What is the SUSE way to invoke/create a daemon? In particular I want to have WEBrick from Ruby on Rails running on my server anytime the server is in init 3 or 5. I can manually invoke by "/srv/www/vhosts/my_server/scripts/server --daemon --port 3030" I know I can manually add appropriate entries in /etc/rc.d but I believe my changes will get destroyed the next time I upgrade the server.

Not if you upgrade, fresh install yes. Just use the template file there to set up the process you want to run. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

man init.d: The SuSE boot concept - and the equivalent chapter in the (paper) book. Use /etc/init.d/skeleton as a starting point.

Not if you do it properly. An upgrade will not erase your script. Of course, Yast will delete the symlinks any time, you can not add then manually. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDsof5tTMYHG2NR9URAgDfAJ9IYZcir2y/LBzr1XuDBRBzsRgdtgCfdbAY ysaIXNMqUnsvpbw5i22Uhvg= =n2Jv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
