All,
I'm working on a project where I have to start up some commands that run for the life of the computer's up time. I would like these to start when the computer boots up, and stop after the computer shuts down (running Redhat).
What I have to run are pretty simple commands: 1. multiple perl calls 2. multiple command tail -f log_file_name | logger local3.info
What I figured I would do would be to create a startup script for the perl commands and another for the tail commands (shell script that executes them all).
From my understanding, I will have to have a start, stop, and restartmethod (which calls stop and start). The start method I can handle
(simply call the command and append the &), but how do I go about
stopping the bash scripts?
Thanks in advance,
Log the pids as part of your script(s) to a file and loop over them with a kill -9 to halt them?
or assuming your scripts are named uniquely a killall bobjoe.PL ?
