Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 I was attempting to speed up my boot time based on a post here: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?p=5202#5202 So I wrote a script and made it executable. The script looks like this: #!/bin/bash case $1 in start) ( sleep 1m; bash >/dev/null 2>&1 <<-FIN /etc/rc.d/init.d/arpwatch start /etc/rc.d/init.d/leafnode start /etc/rc.d/init.d/swat start /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa start /etc/rc.d/init.d/anacron start /etc/rc.d/init.d/atd start /etc/rc.d/init.d/bastille-firewall start /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd start /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm start /etc/rc.d/init.d/harddrake start /etc/rc.d/init.d/ip6tables start /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables start /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipvsadm start /etc/rc.d/init.d/kheader start /etc/rc.d/init.d/linuxconf start /etc/rc.d/init.d/medusa-init start /etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs start /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpd start /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start /etc/rc.d/init.d/psacct start /etc/rc.d/init.d/random start /etc/rc.d/init.d/rawdevices start /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start /etc/rc.d/init.d/sound start /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid start /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb start /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver start /etc/rc.d/init.d/webmin start FIN ) & ;; stop) /etc/rc.d/init.d/arpwatch stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/leafnode stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/swat stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/anacron stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/atd stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/bastille-firewall stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/harddrake stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/ip6tables stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipvsadm stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/kheader stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/linuxconf stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/medusa-init stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpd stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/psacct stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/random stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/rawdevices stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/sound stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/webmin stop ;; restart) /etc/rc.d/init.d/arpwatch restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/leafnode restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/swat restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/anacron restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/atd restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/bastille-firewall restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/harddrake restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/ip6tables restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipvsadm restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/kheader restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/linuxconf restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/medusa-init restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpd restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/psacct restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/random restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/rawdevices restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/sound restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/webmin restart ;; esac rc3.d and I put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 P.S. myservices also doesn't show up in MCC under System>Services. I've done this once before successfully and the new service showed up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 What did I do wrong? The init scripts are thougth to start in a certain order, that's why the links to them are numbered (as in /etc/rc5.d/S01blabla, etc/rc5.d/S70blabla). That's because some of those services, in order to work, need other services running before they can start, ie: "nfs" needs "network" and "portmap" (and maybe others) running before "nfs" itself. So order the services you are launching in the sameway they are under the /etc/rc#.d directories For example, a good idea ( :P ) could be: create a /etc/rc.d/quick_boot/ dir and link the init scripts at /etc/rc.d/init.d/ the sameway they are linked in /etc/rc5.d/ (S01blabla, S05foo...); and call them with a script which could be something like this: #!/bin/bash case $1 in start) (sleep 1m && for script in /etc/rc.d/quick_boot/*; do $script start done) &;; stop) for script in /etc/rc.d/quick_boot/*; do $script stop done;; restart) for script in /etc/rc.d/quick_boot/*; do $script restart done;; *) exit 1;; esac BTW, I'm glad to see you around here Omar :D EDITED: check out the code! removed some unwanted blankspaces (sorry, opera is not the best script editor I've used) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 BTW, I'm glad to see you around here Omar :D Thanks. It's good to be back. I think this did the trick. I won't know till I reboot and I can't right now because I'm d/l-ing a 40MB file on dialup and there is no resume on it...LOL....Man, I miss my DSL. Thanks.
