| Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to have SMAUG run as a background service under RedHat 7.3. At the moment, whether I run the smaug executable or the startup script, the process ends as soon as I log out of the system. This is quite annoying because I can only telnet into my server and I would like to close the window and still have smaug running.
Thanks in advance for any advice that anyone can provide. | | Top |

| I presume you are running it as a background process with "&"? I suggest using sudo to run it as another use, so it isn't related to the current process. I have the following lines in my rc.local file:
#
# SMAUG
#
echo 'Starting SMAUG ...'
sudo -u nick sh -c 'cd /home/nick/smaug/src && /home/nick/smaug/src/startup 4000 &'
What this does is "cd" to the smaug src directory and then run the startup shell script.
Since that is in the rc.local file I don't even need to log in at all, it runs when the PC is booted.
This is under OpenBSD, I am not sure what file RedHat uses, but there would be a similar or identically named one. (Try: /etc/rc.d/rc.local). |
