Can TNG automatically run as a deamon under Linux

[Belinda Frick]

Different Linux distributions have different startup scripts.

They generally fall into two categories, namely BSD and SYSV.

• Ubuntu, RedHat, SuSE, Debian, which are the most commonly used distributions, all use SYSV.
  
• Slackware, which we use for Amethyst, uses BSD.

Without making things too complicated, you can simply add the lines below to the "local" startup file.

Code: Select all

# Start TNG
export LC_ALL=en_ZA
cd /opt/datatex/tng
./tng -D


The "local" startup file can be found in the following locations:

Slackware - /etc/rc.d/rc.local

CentOS 4.3 - /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Ubuntu - /etc/rc.local

Suse 8.0 - /etc/init.d/boot.final

RedHat will be similar to CentOS, and
Debian will be similar to Ubuntu.
