Linux Startup
 

I have a program I want started at system startup time, and also monitored so if it dies it will be restarted.
I see two options but problems with both:


1) Put it into /etc/inittab

**** This would work, EXCEPT I need to do some stuff first.* I need to do a cd, and add some stuff to the
***** PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.* And I can't do (as far as I can tell, as I tried):

*** *** x:respawn:cd /root/inittab; LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PWD";./Vms

***** I think you have to run from root



2) Put into /etc/rc*.d

**** Then I could do all the path setup, etc, but how do I get it to respawn if it somehow dies?

Try putting the entire sequence in quotes. I am not sure it will
work, but I know that if you don't, everything after the space is
passed to the first command as parameters. If that does not work,
put it in a script, and run the script. As long as the script does
not exit, it will be fine.
