You haven't read the documentation for Gentoo rc-scripts.  This script 
was likely developed for a different distribution, for example Debian.  
Gentoo rc-scripts require, in addition to start() and stop(), a 
checkconfig() function that lets the rc services know what services this 
one requires.  You'll need to either manually figure out the 
dependencies and add a checkconfig(), or simply add 'webservice.sh start 
&' to /etc/conf.d/local.start and 'webservice.sh stop &' to 
/etc/conf.d/local.stop as another poster recommended.

To learn more about rc-scripts and their required functions, run 
'/etc/init.d/webservice.sh help'  (or any service in /etc/init.d).

Also, the script as provided seems to expect to be run from a certain 
CWD with your JRE relative to there.  This is unlikely to work on 
Gentoo, especially given Gentoo's use of java-config to support 
different JREs.

[gentoo-user] daemon start up problem

[K. Mike Bradley]

Hello,
I am running latest Gentoo.
I want to start my app as a daemon.
This app has a script to do so.

webservice.sh

I copied this file to /etc/init.d/

I made a link:

/etc/runlevels/default/webctrl ---> /etc/init.d/webservice.sh

If I start manually it's ok:

/etc/init.d/webservice.sh start

But when I re-boot I get:


*WARNING:   /etc/init.d/webctrl missing ... Skipping            [ok] 

 

If I run:

nano /etc/runlevels/default/webctrl

I get the webservice.sh that the link points to.

Please help.

I would imagine that the init system of Gentoo expects the links in
/etc/runlevels/... to have the same name as the script they link to.

So to get proper behaviour: 
ln -sf /etc/init.d/webservice.sh /etc/runlevels/default/webservice.sh
(or "rc-update add webservice.sh default")

Then remove /etc/runlevels/default/webctrl
 
That should fix it...

RE: [gentoo-user] daemon start up problem

[K. Mike Bradley]

I tried rc-update originally but got an error message which is why I
manually made the link.

I removed the webctrl link and rc-update as you detailed and it worked this
time, but ...

When I boot I get:

Usage: /sbin/rc { start | stop}

And the service is not running.

Could this be a script error in the webservice.sh provided by the app
vendor?

Thanks for all your help.
