Re: [Motion-user] Running motion as a regular user from init.d

[<k3...@op...>]

I created an init script and put it in /etc/init.d. Then a link to it at /etc/rc2.d/S20motion. (This is for Debian, other distributions may be different)You can get the init script from my website at http://www.waterflea.com/motion.txtYou may need to change some paths in it, I don't use the default configuration path for example as specified on line 6.----- Original Message -----From: Jim Seymour Date: Sunday, November 5, 2006 5:13 pmSubject: [Motion-user] Running motion as a regular user from init.dTo: Motion users > Hi,> > I really would like to have motion come up as the system boots > due to it> supplying a video feed for a website.
