Hello to All

The title says all

I have using Linux ( Debian, Mandriva, CentOS ) because im trying to "stand up" an IDS . . .

Now im trying FreeBSD 6.2 because looks very interesting, and the writer of a book wich i have reading uses FreeBSD.

And i will try to duplicate the IDS with FreeBSD.

Now... the main parts of the IDS are te Server (store data on a DB) and a Sensor, both uses startup scripts to start on boot, and chkconfig / update-rc.d are used for that.

( that scripts located in /etc/init.d on Linux )

Which command is used for adding a statup script on boot ???
( or i have to copy someting to rc1, rc2 . . . by hand ? )

Thanks to all

You edit /etc/rc.conf and add something like

service_enable="YES"

To start the service immediately without rebooting,

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/service start

You may have to adjust your path depending on where the service is installed. If you created your own startup script, you probably should save it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Also take a look at the FreeBSD handbook because it has more details about managing services.

Hello again

i have been "playing" with FreeBSD again (now 7.0), and i'm interested to load some scripts on startup (i dont know if is necesary to convert them in daemons)...

that scripts was written for Red Hat like distributions, and with some fixes can run in Debian...

i have cheked that part of handbook that you talk about (Starting Services)

then, i have to add that part:
...
utility_enable=${utility_enable-"NO"}
utility_flags=${utility_flags-""}
utility_pidfile=${utility_pidfile-"/var/run/utility.pid"}
...

in order to load that scripts (and executhe their tasks) on boot???

The scripts have this form (for Red Hat "chkconfig")

#!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 2345 80 13
# description: Starts and stops SGUIL security monitoring server. \

# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

sguild="/usr/local/sguil/server/sguild"
prog="sguild"
sguil_user="sguil"

start() {
    echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
    RETVAL=0
    daemon --user $sguil_user $sguild -P /var/run/sguil/sguild.pid -O /usr/local/tcltls/lib/libtls1.50.so -D

    RETVAL=$?
    echo
}

stop() {
    echo -n $"Shutting down $prog: "
    kill -9 `ps -auxww | grep tclsh | grep sguild | awk '{print $2}'`
    echo
}

status() {
    NUM_PROCS=`ps -auxww | grep tclsh | grep sguild | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | wc -l`

    if [ $NUM_PROCS -eq 3 ]; then
        echo "Sguild daemon is UP"
        exit 0
    else
	# The funky sed is necessary to chop some extra spaces before 
	# $NUM_PROCS, which were inserted by the output from "wc -l" above.
        echo "Sguild daemon is DOWN ($NUM_PROCS/3 processes up)" | sed -e 's/\s\s//g'
        exit -1
    fi
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
	start
	;;
  stop)
	stop
	;;
  restart|reload)
	stop
	sleep 3
	start
	;;
  status)
	status 
	;;
  *)
	echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
	exit 1
esac

Thanks to everybody

See you

Solved.

i did it, and the solution is shown in the post "custom script don't run on boot".

i can't solve the start/stop/restart options with the "good way", i did a complementary script using "kill + grep", and "rm -f pidfile", is not elegant, but works.

also, i can see something, the startup script dont works if is located on /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ only works on /etc/rc.d, i dont know why.

Thanks anyway

See you
