Re: Starting Radius
Hi Matt, Alternatively, you can start-up Freeradius by putting the following lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local: cd /usr/local/freeradius/sbin; ./radiusd -X (depending on where you installed your Freeradius, that's where I installed mine) With that, Freeradius starts automatically each time my system reboots. And that way, you don't need to install an extra program. Cheers Matthew [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/04/03 12:01AM Yes but how do you tell Daemontools to do this when the Linux box boots up? All the Linux applications I have installed before that need to run on startup such as MailScanner did this for me. Matt I use daemontools for most of these applications. Its a little strange at first, but I have not found anything that keeps a daemon alive more reliably. Just make sure the command line in your 'run' file does not background the process, or daemontools will think the process has died and will try to respawn. You will need to give radiusd the '-s' flag to do this.

There are scripts in the distribution that you can put in the standard rcX directories. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Matt Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 11:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Starting Radius Yes but how do you tell Daemontools to do this when the Linux box boots up?

Re: Starting Radius
This isn't the daemontools list Install daemontools, it puts a line in /etc/inittab that makes it run at boot. If you want some details, mail me directly, as this discussion certainly doesn't belong on this list.
