Run process as daemon
My problem is below: I have a service application, which is unable to run as daemon. If I run the application from the rc.d scripts the system hangs up because the process does not exit. If I put an mark to the end of the line evereyting is the same. The service application hangs the system in from the rc.boot also. The quewstion is: Can I run this service without logging in to the box. How? Robert

Just write your own startup script and use : start-stop-daemon --start --background --quiet --exec my_process start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec my_process the --background should do the trick for processes that don't know how to daemonize. pgpNFe9exDECW.pgp Description: PGP signature
Which (simple) Wiki?
Hi, I'm looking for a very simple Wiki. It should be easy to install and have a very clear design. It's meant for a very limited amount of users (less than 10) so I don't need any kind of authtentification. Every Wiki I've found is much to overloaded for my needs. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best regards Dominik Schulz
Re: Run process as daemon
Can you tell us some more? for example: what does it say when it ends? what kind of program is it? maybe read the manual of nohup, it might be a solution grtz My problem is below: I have a service application, which is unable to run as daemon.

Re: Which (simple) Wiki?
Hi Dominic, At the moment I prefer phpwiki (http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/). Because of the PHP/Mysql/Apache combination easy to install and maintain. Very simpel but powerfull set of tags. I used Twiki (http://www.Twiki.org) )for some time and thats just a little bit over the top for me, and their download policy is a little bit annoying (is it a real GPL?). You have to request for the program. You cant download it directly. It has an impressive number of features though. Take care, Bob Hi, I'm looking for a very simple Wiki.

Re: Which (simple) Wiki?
I installed usemod for an 'intranet' wiki - very simple perl script - no thrills. needs a folder with 777 permissions unless you have suexec. I can recommend it so far. Hope this helps Michael Moritz Dominik Schulz wrote: Hi, I'm looking for a very simple Wiki. It should be easy to install and have a very clear design.

The registration policy for downloads has been discussed more than once (at twiki.org) and has not changed. (There's even been some (probably tongue-in-cheek) discussion about a fork just to get around that policy.) There is a package being developed for TWiki in Debian -- don't know the status but it already exists. (So, you don't have to register to get TWiki from Debian. ;-) If you are looking for simpler wikis, I'd consider moin-moin (do a Google search) or the original wiki (at www.c2.org?). regards, Randy Kramer
reinstall slapd
Guys-n-gals, I'm trying to build up an LDAP server on a Debian box that had some base install of LDAP on it, someone mucked about, and then left the company that hired me. I'm trying to install the latest slapd on the box (running unstable). The package installs, and... nothing. I can't get in, since it NEVER PROMPTED FOR THE @#$*(^*^% ADMIN PASSWORD! I've blown away everything relating to slapd, and, still, somewhere, somehow, this thing is picking what seems to be a random admin password, which I don't know about. It seems I'm clueless, and debconf has me beat. Can anyone, someone, give me a clue? Thanks, Tim -- Tim Sailer (at home) Coastal Internet, Inc.

Re: reinstall slapd
Hi tps @2003.05.14_18:50:00_+0200
i think installing openldap is a bit too complex to do well with debconf
have a look at the openldap guide,
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin21/
slapcat / slapadd and a text editor to create an ldif file should do the job
man slapd.conf
--8-:- snip -:-8-:- snip -:-8--
rootdn dn
Specify the distinguished name that is not subject to
access control or
administrative limit restrictions for operations on this
database. This DN may
or may not be associated with an entry. An empty root DN (the
default) specifies
no root access is to be granted. It is recommended that the
rootdn only be
specified when needed (such as when initially populating a
database). If the
rootdn is within a namingContext (suffix) of the database, a
simple bind password
may also be provided using the rootpw directive.
rootpw password
Specify a password (or hash of the password) for the rootdn.
The password can
only be set if the rootdn is within the namingContext (suffix) of
the database.
This option accepts all RFC 2307 userPassword formats known to
the server (see
password-hash desription) as well as cleartext. slappasswd(8)
may be used to
generate a hash of a password. Cleartext and {CRYPT}
passwords are not
recommended. If empty (the default), authentication of the root
DN is by other
means (e.g. SASL). Use of SASL is encouraged.

Re: reinstall slapd
I've discovered a unique bug, I think. I ran dpkg-reconfigure debconf, and selected readline, instead of dialog, and now it's prompting for the admin password. Sheesh. All that time wasted...
