How to start a Server prog written in C (using sockets) to start at
bootup. I tried adding script to rc5.d? But the problem is that since
the server starts listening on a port( 5000) the OS freezes and then I
have to bootup in rescue mode to remove that script.
All the script does is runs a program calle server written in C.
In the script I have followed the start, stop status pattern followed
in other rc5.d scripts.
The scripts in the rc directories are set up for controlling
C programs which are specifically written to run as daemons.
You cannot start a simple terminal-oriented program and
assume that it behaves as a proper daemon.
For details, get e.g. the book
W Richard Stevens, Advanced Programming in the UNIX
Environment
and read the chapter on daemons (and all others referred
from it).
