Init Script for Pyload on Gentoo
Because I use a custom installation of pyload I had to write my own init script.
my setup:
- runs as a user with its home directory set to /home/pyload
- python files are located in /home/pyload/bin
- configuration files are located in /home/pyload/.pyload
Here is the init script I use:
#!/sbin/runscript
depend() {
need net
}
PYLOAD_USER=${PYLOAD_USER:-root}
PYLOAD_GROUP=${PYLOAD_GROUP:-root}
PYLOAD_CONFDIR=${PYLOAD_CONFDIR:-/etc/pyload}
PYLOAD_PIDFILE=${PYLOAD_PIDFILE:-/var/run/${SVCNAME}.pid}
PYLOAD_EXEC=${PYLOAD_EXEC:-/usr/bin/pyload}
start() {
ebegin "Starting pyload"
start-stop-daemon --start --exec "${PYLOAD_EXEC}" \
--pidfile $PYLOAD_PIDFILE \
--user $PYLOAD_USER:$PYLOAD_GROUP \
-- -p $PYLOAD_PIDFILE --daemon ${PYLOAD_OPTIONS}
eend $? "Failed to start pyload"
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping pyload"
start-stop-daemon --stop \
--pidfile $PYLOAD_PIDFILE \
--exec "${PYLOAD_EXEC}"
eend $? "Failed to stop pyload"
}
Here is the configuration:
PYLOAD_USER=pyload
PYLOAD_GROUP=pyload
PYLOAD_EXEC=/home/pyload/bin/pyLoadCore.py
PYLOAD_CONFDIR=/home/pyload/.pyload
PYLOAD_PIDFILE=/home/pyload/${SVCNAME}.pid
PYLOAD_OPTIONS=
