 Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2007 10:08 am Post subject: Getting vmware working with initng [solved] |
 |
|
Hi there, I have posted on the initng forum regarding this problem but got no reply and was wondering if anyone here could help me out.
I am trying to launch all the scripts that are required for vmware to work ( i works fine with the normal init). Does anyone have a sample i-script which they use and know works so that I can use it myself?
The current ifile in the initng directory doesnt work 
| Code: | #!/sbin/itype
# This is a i file, used by initng parsed by install_service
service daemon/vmware/vmnet/prepare {
need = system/bootmisc system/modules/vmnet;
script start = {
/bin/mknod -m 600 /dev/vmnet0 c 119 0
/bin/mknod -m 600 /dev/vmnet1 c 119 1
/bin/mknod -m 600 /dev/vmnet2 c 119 2
/bin/mknod -m 600 /dev/vmnet3 c 119 3
};
}
daemon daemon/vmware/vmnet {
need = system/bootmisc;
use = daemon/vmware/vmnet/prepare;
exec daemon = /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmnet-bridge /dev/vmnet0 eth1;
}
virtual daemon/vmware {
need = system/bootmisc daemon/vmware/vmnet system/modules/vmmon;
also_stop = daemon/vmware/vmnet; |
I've tried several variants of what people claim have worked and still cant get it to work Could someone shed some light on this matter?

I'm not sure if you already tried this, but you can execute:
| Code: | | /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware start |
You can then put this into /etc/conf.d/local.start

Yup that seems to work fine.
Thanks for that, i'm still trying to understand how the init system works. I guess its a way of starting commands so there should be a problem of just starting any other micellaneous service in my local start script? |

| surely, rc-update only works for the old init process and not initng, or am I getting confused? I thought the whole point of porting script to initng means that rc-update scripts are used and if you want them run , it needs to be manually i.e inside local.start? |
