Using init (bootup & shutdown) scripts in Debian/Ubuntu

Category: Uncategorized / Tag: , ,  / Add Comment

For my Areca 1210 raid card I wanted the “Utility” to run on startup. In Debian/Ubuntu this is really easy:

  1. Create the (startup) scrip; In my case this looked like this: 
    #!/bin/bash
#
#  set -x;
#
cd /root;
screen -d -m arc_http;
  2. Create a symlink to /etc/init.d/ 
    sudo ln -s ~/Documenten/bin/arc_http.sh /etc/init.d/
  3. Run the update-rc.d script 
    sudo update-rc.d arc_http.sh defaults

If you want to remove the startup script for some reason you can do this by executing this command:

sudo update-rc.d -f arc_http.sh remove
