Script to restart daemon

[aircoreboy]

How would I go about creating a script to restart the mt-daapd daemon, to run after a router reboot ( i.e. stop the process, then start it again), and where would I put it?

I have been googling extensively, but alas, to no avail, I cannot seem to reconcile information I'm finding about Linux, with the router!

Search this forum, there are some threads about mt-daapd.
Also, to stop/start scripts look at the RMerlin docu. See the top sticky post in this forum for the links.

Thanks tlc, I did this;

#!/bin/sh
sleep 120
echo "Stop mt-daapd"
killall -9 mt-daapd
sleep 30
echo "Start mt-daapd"
mt-daapd -c tmp/etc/mt-daapd.conf

and put it inside services-start, seems to have done the trick!

You wanted to also properly shutdown when rebooting.
You could use services-stop in the same directory and add:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Stop mt-daapd"
killall -9 mt-daapd

If that helps. Not sure, have never used the services-stop to shutdown a script.
