PingDirectory

Starting the PingDirectory server at boot time

Steps

  1. Create the service unit configuration file in a temporary location, where "ds" is the user running the server.

    Example:

    $ bin/create-systemd-script \
     --outputFile /tmp/ping-directory.service \
     --userName ds

  2. As a root user, copy the ping-directory.service configuration file into the /etc/systemd/system directory.

  3. To read the new configuration file, reload systemd.

    Example:

    $ systemctl daemon-reload

  4. To start the server, run the start command.

    Example:

    $ systemctl start ping-directory.service

  5. To configure the server to start automatically when the system boots, run the enable command.

    Example:

    $ systemctl enable ping-directory.service

  6. Sign off as root.

    To perform this task on an RC system, create the startup script with bin/create-rc-script and move it to the /etc/init.d directory.

    Create symlinks to this script from the /etc/rc3.d directory (starting with an “S” to ensure that the server is started) and from the /etc/rc0.d directory (starting with a “K” to ensure that the server is stopped).
