 |
|
I have a neat little script I use to forward my sshd port to another server. It really only needs to be run when I reboot the machine, so I called it from
| Code: |
/etc/conf.d/local.start
|
Now I'm noticing that it now longer works. What gives? Is anybody else having this problem?

| What exactly does your /etc/conf.d/local.start contain? |

Are you sure local is in your default runlevel?

local.start
| Code: |
sudo -H -u username screen /home/blopes/bin/connect.sh 1>&2
|
I've tried it both with, and without the '1>&2', without was working before this whole problem arose.
If I run the connect.sh on it's own, it runs fine. It's just that it doesn't start automatically.
codergeek42, I'm not sure if it's in the default runlevel, I didn't intentionally remove it from there. Is there a way I can check this?

will output all services in the default runlevel.
If local isnt there, then it quite probably got deleted during a baselayout update or similar. To re-add it, | Code: | | rc-update add local default |

Yes, apparently it was off. But when I tried adding it to default, I got
| Code: |
* local already installed in runlevel default; skipping
|
Does this mean that it should restart next time I reboot? When I ran
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/local start
|
It did run my shell script. Hmmm, so the code is alright, it's just an issue that this should be in default runlevel. Any ideas why it doesn't seem to start even though it is in default apparently? I guess I don't care all that much, as long as it runs when I reboot. I just deleted it, and then added it back in to the default level. Hopefully this will work.

Apparently it was a problem calling screen from my local.start commands given above. I was getting the following error when it was trying to start up local:
| Code: |
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/console' -please check
|
I read somewhere to chown username /dev/console, and after doing this it runs fine. Should I have done this, I don't want to expose myself here, just to get this to run.
Ona a side note:
I noticed this error when sitting at the machine during boot up, and when it tries starting all the modules. I am aware of dmesg to see the kernel startup results, but is there a way to view those short diagnositics of the scripts when booting?

What does the script have in it?
If its just ordinary commands, you could put it into the local.start directly |

Removing a lot of the useless stuff in the script, it comes down to
| Code: |
ssh -v -g -R 35123:remote.server.com:35122 local.server.com -N
|
This just forwards my ssh port onto the remote server, because I'm trapped behind a firewall that I can't open. I like to have it open in screen, so that i can keep an eye on what's going on whenever I log into the machine. Using screen is almost imperative for that matter, and that seems to be the problem.
