You can probably use an existing script and edit it to suit your program, or there is example in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-xxxxxx directory that you should be able to hack at. That will also help you to get lock files and pid files going for it if you need them.Miredo is run as a server from the command line: /usr/sbin/miredo The man page says the signal SIGTERM stops the server.How do I send SIGTERM to the server? Or SIGHUP, as I want to make a change to the config file.And once I get this as I want it, how do I run it at system boot?It has pid files: /var/run/miredo.pid How would I get lock files?You create lock files as a simple way to not run a process more than one at a time.I was asking how I make/control a lock file when the rpm provides a binary run module and the man page does not mention a lock file. How do I find out if there is a lock file? How do I get one working? Do I necessarily need one, perhaps the binary determines its running status before trying to start a second copy? Actually, I think I discovered that miredo will not start a second copy, oops.Miredo comes from sourceforge. Fortunately, I do not have to create it.....Yes, rc.local will be easier to get the service running, but if you are creating something for distribution, service miredo restart can be easier for a noobie then kill -HUP (what was that pid# again?)The other choice is to add a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but that won't give you control with the system command.I MUST include this in my docs. I keep forgetting the file name. This will probably be good enough, as once I get it working, it will be an auto start. And less effort than the first point.
Here is an easier option. http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/miredo/ -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
