How to Run Jobs after system start and before shutdown?

[Sina]

hello everyone;

I just wanted to know where to put my start and stop scripts to run the start jobs at the boot time and my stop jobs at shutdown.

For example I would like to start my mysql db at start and shutit down when the server is going down.

I like to run this jobs to start mysql when the system is coming up.
/bin/sh -c 'cd /usr/local/mysql; ./bin/safe_mysqld'

And run the
su - oracle -c "/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/lsnrctl stop"
when the server is going down.
where should I place these lines?


thank you all

If you installed mysql from ports take a look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.sh-dist

If you rename it to remove the '-dist' it will start up automatically. rc.d is the place to put your startup scripts but I never run shutdown scripts because I rarely shutdown my servers but look at /etc/rc.shutdown for that.

Hope that helps,

FredUG

Hi folks,

In FreeBSD, all the script files located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ directory will be run with start argument in system startup and with stop argument on system shutdown. So, all you need to do is to create a script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/service.sh and handle start and stop arguments properly.

For example, to start UPS monitoring tool, create script like this:

--------------
#!/bin/sh
case "${1}" in
start)
upsd
upsmon apcsmart
upslog hostname ups.log 15
echo -n " ups"
;;
stop)
/usr/bin/killall upslog upsmon upsd apcsmart
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
;;
esac

exit 0
---------------
