Init scripts
The init.d script can be used to start/stop captagent in a nicer way.
A sample of init.d script for captagent is provided at:
/usr/src/captagent/init/deb/debian/captagent.init
Just copy the init file to /etc/init.d/captagent and change the permisions:
cp /usr/src/captagent/init/deb/debian/captagent.init /etc/init.d/captagent
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/captagent
then edit the file updating the $DAEMON and $CFGFILE values:
DAEMON=/usr/local/captagent/bin/captagent
CFGFILE=/usr/local/captagent/etc/captagent/captagent.xml
You need also setup a configuration file in the /etc/default/ directory:
cp /usr/src/captagent/init/deb/debian/captagent.default /etc/default/captagent
When using systemd (we all wish we were not) the service file might be required:
cp /usr/src/captagent/init/deb/debian/captagent.service /etc/systemd/system/captagent.service
Once installed and before using, edit the default file to reflect your captagent path:
RUN_CAPTAGENT=yes
CFGFILE=/usr/local/captagent/etc/captagent/captagent.xml
To execute automatically at startup:
update-rc.d captagent defaults
To exclude the script from startup:
update-rc.d -f captagent remove
