hello,
everytime i reboot my ubuntu i have to start zoneminder. How can i make zoneminder start on boot up. I have done all this but still not starting.
Make sure ZoneMinder starts automatically
* create new file as follows:
nano -w /etc/init.d/zm
now inside nano paste the following:
#!/bin/sh
# description: Control ZoneMinder as a Service
# chkconfig: 2345 99 99
# Source function library.
#. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
prog=ZoneMinder
ZM_PATH_BIN="/usr/local/bin"
command="$ZM_PATH_BIN/zmpkg.pl"
start() {
echo -n "Starting $prog: "
$command start
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && echo success
[ $RETVAL != 0 ] && echo failure
return $RETVAL
}
stop() {
echo -n "Stopping $prog: "
$command stop
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && echo success
[ $RETVAL != 0 ] && echo failure
}
status() {
result=`$command status`
if [ "$result" = "running" ]; then
echo "ZoneMinder is running"
RETVAL=0
else
echo "ZoneMinder is stopped"
RETVAL=1
fi
}
case "$1" in
'start')
start
;;
'stop')
stop
;;
'restart')
stop
start
;;
'status')
status
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart | status }"
RETVAL=1
;;
esac
exit $RETVAL
Make /etc/init.d/zm executable:
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zm
* now: i use webmin to make ZoneMinder start at boot time ... (under webmin > system > bootup and shutdown > click zm and enable boot start, save)
* you may want to add the following line on /etc/rc.local file:
/etc/init.d/zm start
