I have followed the steps in this tutorial but it wouldn't work.

https://serversforhackers.com/setting-up-mailcatcher

I did however successfully installed mailcatcher and have tested. It is working, however I can't run it as a service.

Anyone knows how to do this in CentOS? Thanks.

All operations made by root or sudoer user.

  1. create file /etc/init.d/mailcatcher

  2. add to it this content (from https://gist.github.com/oppara/c4233b289c86e2b3cb66) :

    
#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 345 99 1
# description: mailcatcher
# processname: mailcatcher

start() {
    echo -n "starting mailcatcher:"
    /usr/local/rbenv/shims/mailcatcher --http-ip=0.0.0.0
    return 0
}

stop() {
    killall mailcatcher
    return 0
}

case "$1" in
    start)
        start
        ;;
    stop)
        stop
        ;;
    *)
        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
        exit 2
esac

exit 0

  3. make file executable: 

    chmod +x /etc/init.d/mailcatcher

  4. add service available:

    chkconfig --add mailcatcher

  5. enable service:

    chkconfig mailcatcher on

  6. start or stop service with this command:

    service mailcatcher stop|start
