Solaris autorun scripts...

[beefdart]

I finally got bored in class and wrote two scripts to install distributedfolding on Solaris to run automatically.

Next two features will be a way to view stats, and fix it so it doesnt kill... maybe a better INSTALL script...

If just one more person could verify it works for now that be great

Any comments/suggestions as always are apreciated.

The way you'll stop the client cleanly is to delete the lock file. If the machine is shutting down you have to make sure it doesn't shutdown before the results have been uploaded (although this wouldn't be needed after the new version the client). Here I manage to do it :) http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=1819

In your INSTALL script:
# Worried about Solaris FS
sync
sync
sync

# End and test
reboot

Why would you need to reboot ?

Why not just call the new startup script to start it.

/etc/init.d/folding start

Ok, will do.

devzero: The reason I did that was to test in our lab t make sre everythng was working right... We have not reinstalled (thats this weekend) so some of the machines had full /var and the like... I will change that on the public one.

Thanks to you both
