I am setting up a script to run FUPPES at boot time. I am used to using rc.local, but SUSE’s boot.local is run BEFORE the network is initiated, so that does not seem to be a good solution.
My solution: I took the /etc/init.d/skeleton script and went from there. Basically all I changed was the path to the executable (I’ll paste the script at the bottom of the post).
I set the Dependencies to $ALL and included a sleep 20 before the binary /usr/local/bin/fuppesd is executed because my wlan0 interface takes a few seconds to get DHCP done with. I set it to 20 just to be sure this was not the problem (as it had been before the addition of the sleep command).
To test the script out I run /etc/init.d/fuppesd_script start and it starts up and runs perfectly (status gives the right output, I can connect to the stream from my Xbox, and I can view the web interface.)
When I reboot the computer, however, the status is shown as running and a ps aux | grep fuppesd shows that the binary is running. I cannot, however, connect via my Xbox or load the web interface.
FUPPES depends on config files in ~/.fuppes, but if they are not present it will simply create a default set, so they do not seem to be missing.
Is there some debugging suggestions I should use? Am I missing an argument in the startproc line? Any help is much appreciated.
