Hello. I've installed WeeWX in a jail and found the following startup script somewhere: > #!/bin/sh > # Start script for FreeBSD, contributed by user Fabian Abplanalp > # Adjust app and cfg locations as appropriate, then put this script > # in /usr/local/etc/rc.d > # > WEEWX_BIN="/home/weewx/bin/weewxd" > WEEWX_CFG="/home/weewx/weewx.conf" > PIDFILE="/var/run/weewx.pid" > > case "$1" in > "start") > echo "Starting weewx..." > /usr/local/bin/python ${WEEWX_BIN} ${WEEWX_CFG} --daemon & > echo $! > ${PIDFILE} > echo "done" > ;; > > "stop") > echo "Stopping weewx..." > if [ -f ${PIDFILE} ] ; then > kill `cat ${PIDFILE}` > rm ${PIDFILE} > echo "done" > else > echo "not running?" > fi > ;; > > "restart") > echo "Restarting weewx..." > $0 stop > sleep 2 > $0 start > ;; > > *) > echo "$0 [start|stop|restart]" > ;; > > esac It works if I issue "service weewx [start|stop|restart]", but it won't start the program on boot (or on jail restart). Why? Any sample of a rc.d script to start a Python deamon? bye & Thanks av.
