Autostart after Linux reboot
tutname=Autostart nach Linux Reboot|tutautor=[[psycore]]|tutversion=1.0|tutquelle=http://www.hellhost.de/wiki/linux:autostart
Problem description
If you operate a Linux server, some services must always be available. When the server restarts, certain programmes should start immediately. A simple cronjob is sufficient for this.
Problem solution
Log on as the user under which the programme is running and open the cronjob list:
$> crontab -e
The following command must now be entered as a cronjob:
# m h dom mon dow command @reboot cd /home/user/programdir; ./program start
As a practical example, the automatic start of an IRCD with services:
# m h dom mon dow command @reboot cd /home/psycore/Unreal3.2; ./unreal start @reboot cd /home/psycore/services; ./services
