I want to start a watchdog kicker on startup but am unsure how to name and where to place my upstart script.
start on startup
respawn
script
/usr/sbin/watchdog
end script
Reference: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
I'm also just trying to understand the difference between sysVinit, init.d, rc.local, upstart (latest and greatest?).
What is the reason for what seems to be so many ways to do the same thing, for example:
service watchdog start
/etc/init.d/watchdog start
/usr/sbin/watchdog
