I need the following sample script to run when OpenSuSe 11 is booting:
#!/bin/sh
i=0;
while true; do
"SOME COMMAND FOR SAVING i TO ANOTHER PLACE" &> /dev/null
i=$((i+1))
sleep 1
done
So basically just add 1 every second on a variable and then send the variable to another system. I saved this script at /bin/user/script.sh
Starting the script from console works perfectly..
/bin/user/script.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
First I added this line to the existing /etc/init.d/boot.local that comes with OpenSuSe, however this was not working so stable. Sometimes it was started and sometimes not. I thought because of user rights, but even after
chmod 755 script.sh
The problem continues. So then I made my own /etc/init.d/myscript
Content of /etc/init.d/myscript:
#! /bin/sh
#
# /etc/init.d/myscript
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: myscript
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop: 0
# Short-Description: Start myscript while booting
# Description: ...
### END INIT INFO
#
#
#
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting myscript."
/bin/user/script.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping myscript."
killall -9 script.sh
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
Then I did the insserv command for my script:
insserv myscript
Starting and stopping from console works..
/etc/init.d/myscript start
/etc/init.d/myscript stop
but again no sign of life for myscript after booting.
What am I doing wrong? How can I successfully run a script every time when the system starts?
Update 2015.11.12: This script is working and starting correctly on boot on OpenSuSe 11.
