Hello,
I just installed subversion, and I want to start the standalone subversion server (svnserve) on every reboot. The command I need to execute is:
svnserve -d -r /usr/local/repositories
I created a user called subversiond, with the shell in /etc/passwd set to /nonexistent. If I am logged into the system, I can use the following commands to start the subversion server as subversiond:
su -m subversiond svnserve -d -r /usr/local/repositories exit
However, I have not had any luck automating this. What I tried was placing:
/usr/local/repositories/subversiond.sh
in /etc/rc.local, and creating the following executable file /usr/local/repositories/subversiond.sh:
#!/bin/sh umask 022 #just to make sure su -m subversiond svnserve -d -r /usr/local/repositories exit #note: I added these exit's when the script exit # didn't work without them, but it still doesn't work
However, if I reboot and do a 'ps -axu | grep "subversiond"' the only process that I see is "_su -m (csh)".
I would appreciate any help/pointers you could give me.
Thank You,
