Ubuntu – Red5 – Linux Installation init.d script

installationred5Ubuntu

I have followed this pretty little tutorial to install red5 on Ubuntu 11.04
I can now run it from /usr/share/red5/red5.sh
But I'd like to have a init.d script like /etc/init.d/red5 start|stop|restart|...
I found one here but when used, it's saying

.: 11: Can't open /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

What can I do to make it work ?

/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions contains some functions: daemon, killproc, status, ... which is used in init script on Red Hat based distro. Since you're using Ubuntu, you probably want to 'convert':

/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions >> /lib/lsb/init-functions
daemon >> start-stop-daemon
...

Ubuntu – Help me get clear on daemonizing a startup script

Ok, I've been working on this for a while, and I finally got it working.

I ended up using the new Ubuntu "upstart" service. It's a replacement for the /etc/init.d system.

Here's how it worked for me:

I put a file in /etc/event.d that describes my process:

description "node.js comet server"
author      "Chris"

start on startup
stop on shutdown
exec /usr/local/bin/node /path/to/comet.js > /dev/null &
respawn

Then I restarted, and it worked! Much better and easier than writing /etc/init.d scripts!

Ubuntu – Cannot run SSH or send commands to /etc/init.d/ssh

The script will exit immediately if the /usr/sbin/sshd binary can not be found and executed. Can you ls -l /usr/bin/sshd?
