I'll third the idea. I've been using local.start to run a couple scripts |
| 11 |
of my own for some time. It "just works" as they say. Just add the |
| 12 |
"local" service to your default or whatever runlevel, and it'll start and |
| 13 |
stop anything you add to the conf.d local.st(art|op), without having to |
| 14 |
setup a whole fancy service. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The only caveat is that local is the last thing started and the first |
| 17 |
thing stopped, so if you need something started earlier or stopped later, |
| 18 |
you have to change things a bit. I'd still recommend starting with the |
| 19 |
local service, however, and going from there, since it's tested, and |
| 20 |
future changes will be done with it in mind, so it's less likely to break |
| 21 |
with future updates than something you create entirely on your own. |
