Make a service

[hosseinyounesi]

Hi,
Take a look at this script

#!/bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: 35 90 12
# description: Foo server
#

# Get function from functions library
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Start the service FOO
start() {
initlog -c "echo -n Starting FOO server: "
/path/myfile &
### Create the lock file ###
#touch /var/lock/subsys/FOO
success $"FOO server startup"
echo
}

# Restart the service FOO
stop() {
initlog -c "echo -n Stopping FOO server: "
killproc myfile
### Now, delete the lock file ###
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/FOO
echo
}

### main logic ###
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
status)
status FOO
;;
restart|reload|condrestart)
stop
start
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
exit 1
esac

exit 0

It worked on fedora, but not on ubuntu ?!
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions Does not exists !!! ?
And if I'm wrong doing the services entirely or there other ways, PLEASE tell me.

Ubuntu is a different beast from Fedora. I believe the 'functions' you seek are located in /lib/lsb/init-functions.

When you source the functions file, I suppose you could check the return status ($?) and if it is not zero, then attempt to source the other file. Now whether this would work on another flavour of Linux distro is unknown.

P.S. Fedora use /etc/redhat-release to identify the system; Ubuntu uses /etc/lsb-release.
