[Tclhttpd-users] Linux Startup with port 80

[Paul N. <web...@ih...>]

What is the best way to have tclhttpd automatically startup under Linux =
(Suse 9.3). The server is currently in a user home directory -uid 1000 =
-gid 100.

The tclhttpd source tarball comes with some startup scripts that can be
placed in /etc/init.d (as root) to control startup at boot time:
debian/init.d - startup script for debian
bin/tclhttpd.etc.init - startup script for RedHat

The RPM from Fedora contains another /etc/init.d script suitable for
Fedora-based systems.  These are all good starting points for writing
your own init.d script for Suse.  If you do write one, please let us
know so that we can include it in future tclhttpd releases.

An alternative to using an init.d startup script (which requires root
privileges) is to create a cron job for the user that starts tclhttpd
after a reboot:

@reboot /path/to/tclhttpd start -daemon 1 -config /path/to/your/config

Note, however, that if you want to run tclhttpd on port 80 then it must
be started initially as root so that it can bind to this privileged
port.  Use the 'Config uid ...' configuration in tclhttpd.rc to have
tclhttpd switch to a different user after binding to port 80.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

This sample init comes with the distro...

edit accordingly...

#!/sbin/sh
#
# /etc/init.d/tclhttpd - Start/Stop the tcl httpd server
#
# This file lives in slightly different locations on different platforms:
# Solaris:
# IRIX:
#    /etc/init.d/tclhttpd
# RedHat Linux:
#    /etc/rc.d/init.d/tclhttpd
# HPUX:
#    /sbin/init.d/tclhttpd
#
# The script also needs links from peer directories named
# rc2.d to start the server
# (e.g., make rc2.d/S80tclhttpd a link to ../init.d/tclhttpd)
# and in rc0.d to stop the server, create a link named rc0.d/K20tclhttpd
#

#
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
TDIR=/ajuba/tclpro1.4/bin
SCRIPT=httpd.tcl
PROG=$TDIR/$SCRIPT

case $1 in
'start')
    if [ -f $PROG ]; then
        $PROG &
    fi   
    ;;
'stop')
    pid=`/usr/ucb/ps -axc | /usr/bin/grep $SCRIPT | /usr/bin/sed -e 
's/^  *//' -e 's/ .*//'`
    if test "$pid"
    then
        echo "Stopping $PROG"
        kill $pid
    fi
    ;;
'restart')
    $0 stop
    $0 start
    ;;
*)
    echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
    ;;
esac
