I have a php script written, and I want run it as a service/daemon
in linux.
So i can use service myservice start/stop/restart
I am assuming it needs to be in the /etc/init.d/
You can take reference of any prebuilt startup script under /etc/init.d
for eg httpd.
For eg you can take a reference of below:
#!/bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: 35 90 12
# description: Foo server
#
# Get function from functions library
. /etc/init.d/functions
# Start the service FOO
start() {
initlog -c "echo -n Starting FOO server: "
/path/to/FOO &
### Create the lock file ###
touch /var/lock/subsys/FOO
success $"FOO server startup"
echo
}
# Restart the service FOO
stop() {
initlog -c "echo -n Stopping FOO server: "
killproc FOO
### Now, delete the lock file ###
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/FOO
echo
}
### main logic ###
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
status)
status FOO
;;
restart|reload|condrestart)
stop
start
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
