 Posted: Wed Apr 14, 2004 10:16 pm Post subject: Simple NOIP question |
 |
|
I dled the noip updater and installed it. The README claims that
| Quote: | If you want it to run automatically when the machine is booted, then
place the following script in your startup directory. (/etc/init.d/rcX.d
or /sbin/init.d/rcX.d or ???) |
My simple question is: what is the '???' for Gentoo? I noticed rcX.d(=rc3.d) didn't exist.
Thanks

it should be here: /etc/init.d/noip
To make it automatically start type: rc-update add noip default |

Hope this helps...
I've installed the NoIP2 client, and created the initscript as /etc/init.d/noip2. So, the right path for it is really /etc/init.d.
Anyway, I didn't really like that example script and wrote a Gentoo-style initscript (so I could use the start, stop and restart parameters). After that, I added it to rc-update and now it happily updates my address every time I boot. 
There it goes. Just create it at /etc/init.d.
| Code: |
#!/sbin/runscript
#. /etc/init.d/functions.sh # uncomment/modify for your killproc
depends() {
need net
use logger
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting noip2"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/local/bin/noip2
eend $?
}
