Re: Help wanted to start gnugk in linux as service

It depends on how it crashes. If the crash ends the process, yes a new process will be restarted. If the crash only causes gnugk not to work properly and the process stays in the process list, nothing would be happen. 

 

You can test it yourself. Kill the gnugk process manually and you'll see another process will be started right after you kill it. Telnet to the status port and pay attention to the up time.

The following is the way that I did in RedHat linux. Most probably it should be the same in your linux too.

 

Add the following lines at the end of the  /etc/inittab file.

 

# Run gnugkd in runlevels 3 and 5
gk:35:respawn:/usr/sbin/gnugk -c /etc/gnugk.ini -o /var/log/gnugk.log -ttt >> /var/log/gkstart.log

This would run the GNUGK after each boot up and will restart it if it goes down in any reasons. This is how I made it as a service.
