Needless to say, Im a bit new at this. Ive been researching since your
suggestion, and I havent found where a file in /etc/rc.d/init.d actually
runs the application.
For example, here is the contents of the yum file there:
***
# cat yum
#!/bin/bash
#
# yum This shell script enables the automatic use of YUM
#
# Author: Seth Vidal <skvidal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
#
# chkconfig: - 50 01
#
# description: Enable daily run of yum, a program updater.
# processname: yum
# config: /etc/yum.conf
#
# source function library
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/yum
RETVAL=0
start() {
echo -n $"Enabling nightly yum update: "
touch "$lockfile" && success || failure
RETVAL=$?
echo
}
stop() {
echo -n $"Disabling nightly yum update: "
rm -f "$lockfile" && success || failure
RETVAL=$?
echo
}
restart() {
stop
start
}
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart|force-reload)
restart
;;
reload)
;;
condrestart)
[ -f "$lockfile" ] && restart
;;
status)
if [ -f $lockfile ]; then
echo $"Nightly yum update is enabled."
RETVAL=0
else
echo $"Nightly yum update is disabled."
RETVAL=3
fi
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0
{start|stop|status|restart|reload|force-reload|condrest
art}"
exit 1
esac
exit $RETVAL
***
What about that script actually runs anything?
Where can I learn more about doing what Im looking for?
