Hi Don, Here's the init.d we use for Twisted on Ubuntu. Sets the full path to Twistd: http://gist.github.com/373978 -J On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 5:38 AM, Don Schoeman <don@delphexonline.com> wrote:Hi guys, My application is being executed using twistd as per documentation. All is working fine but I need to have the service start automatically at boot time. So as a test I've created a script in /etc/init.d/ which looks like this: #! /bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: ghserver # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog # Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Start/stop GHServer server ### END INIT INFO logger "GHServer: Start script executed" GH_SERVER_PATH="/home/myname/Python/ghserver" export PYTHONPATH="$GH_SERVER_PATH:$PYTHONPATH" case "$1" in start) logger "GHServer: Starting" echo "Starting GHServer..." twistd -y "$GH_SERVER_PATH/ghserverapp.py" -l "$GH_SERVER_PATH/ghserver.log" --pidfile "$GH_SERVER_PATH/twistd.pid" ;; stop) logger "GHServer: Stopping" echo "Stopping GHServer..." kill `cat $GH_SERVER_PATH/twistd.pid` ;; *) logger "GHServer: Invalid usage" echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/ghserver {start|stop}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 This works fine when running /etc/init.d/ghserver start and /etc/init.d/ghserver stop. The script also run when I boot since the logger actually logs the "GHServer: Starting" text to the /var/log/messages file. However, my service actually does not start. There is no pid to be found anywhere, there are no error logs anywhere, just nothing. I might be doing something wrong here but is there someone who's gone through this process and can provide some samples how they did it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
