I must confess that I am a bit confused by this. But if this is
meant to be a standard init.d start script then, I am afraid, it
will not do what you want. In it you will have attempted to start
the node a total of <font color="#cc0000">three</font> times. I am
also mildly surprised that it does not hang the startup of the
operating system. <br>
<br>
Basically, there are four standard ways of setting this up. The
first way is easiest, but won't restart if you stop the node. The
other three will. <br>
<br>
1. In the file /etc/rc.local put<br>
<br>
/bin/su -c "/usr/bin/perl -w /spider/perl/cluster.pl >
/dev/null&" sysop <br>
exit 0<br>
<br>
2. If there is a file called /etc/inittab<br>
<br>
Add a line that looks like:<br>
<br>
dx:2345:respawn:/bin/su -c "/usr/bin/perl -w /spider/perl/cluster.pl
> /dev/null 2>&1 &" sysop <br>
<br>
then run "telinit q"<br>
<br>
3. If there is an /etc/init directory and/or you know that you are
running some kind of ubuntu linux distro <= 14.04 then create a
file called /etc/init/dxspider.conf and put this into it:<br>
<br>
----------------------- cut -----------------------<br>
#DXSpider startup script<br>
#<br>
# This service maintains a copy of dxspider from the point the
system is<br>
# started until it is shut down again.<br>
<br>
description "DXSpider DX Cluster"<br>
start on filesystem<br>
stop on runlevel S<br>
<br>
respawn<br>
umask 0002<br>
exec su -c "/usr/bin/perl -w /spider/perl/cluster.pl >/dev/null
2>&1" sysop<br>
----------------------- cut -----------------------<br>
<br>
You will probably need to reboot to make this active.<br>
<br>
4. You have Debian Jessie or Ubuntu > 14.04 and/or you know your
are running systemd (do a ps ax and look at the name of the process
for pid 1). In this case you will need to create a file called
/etc/systemd/system/dxspider.service and put the following into it:<br>
<br>
----------------------- cut -----------------------<br>
[Unit]<br>
Description=DXSpider DX Cluster node<br>
After=network.target auditd.service<br>
<br>
[Service]<br>
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/dxspider<br>
ExecStart=/spider/perl/cluster.pl > /dev/null 2>&1<br>
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID<br>
KillMode=process<br>
Restart=on-failure<br>
RestartPreventExitStatus=255<br>
User=sysop<br>
Group=sysop<br>
<br>
[Install]<br>
WantedBy=multi-user.target<br>
Alias=dxspider.service<br>
----------------------- cut -----------------------<br>
<br>
Again, the easiest way to check this is working is to reboot.<br>
