| Run this command:
chkconfig --list
is there anything regarding shoutcast in there? If not, you can create a start script and cp it to /etc/init.d
here is the general command to start a service on boot:
chkconfig servicename on

| When you run chkconfig --list do you see anything regarding shoutcast or no? I haven't worked with shoutcast too much so I'm not sure if it has a start/stop/restart script.

| No It havent anything regarding shoutcast.
What I must Add to /init.d?
And what servicename to set?

| Shoutcast doesn't provide an init.d so chkconfig'ing it won't work.
The easiest way would be to make a cron such as,
#!/bin/sh
check=`ps aux | grep -v grep | grep -c 'sc_serv'`
if [ $check -le "0" ]; then
cd /path/to/shoutcast
./sc_serv &
fi

Thank you.

| in /etc/rc3.d
make a file S99 or S(Any number not already in use higher than any dependancies the app needs to start example mysql)
for example for apache
vi /etc/rc3.d/S99apache
within the file
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl
close the file and set it to so root can execute it
Make sure the file is owned by the user that it need to run as. If the app can run as root then its ok to leave it. If it needs to be ran by a spacific user such as named then chown the file to the approprate user.

| This should work i do not see start at the end of your command.
Duplicate the command that you would run normally to start your app in your script.

| What exactly you mean?
To make simplier,my shoutcast and sc_trans paths are here->
/home/slurp/shoutcast/sc_serv
/home/slurp/autodj/sc_trans_linux
---
What I Must Add to rc.local?
Can you make it simplier?
Many Thanks!

| what command do you run to start your shoutcast server?
|
| Posted by al3xis, 06-25-2007, 12:24 PM |
| What you mean?
As i said,I add only these lines to rc.local.
Normally I run shoutcast as ./sc_serv
