asked on
bootup script to stop apache, start a service on the machine, start apache.
I want to create a batch file that gets run on machine boot to do the following.
Stops apache web server
changes to a directory where I have a web application
starts a service in that directory
restarts apache.
Is this possible? I have 2 applications I would like to have this happen to every time the machine reboots?

To run it at startup put the script in /etc/init.d
ASKER
is that directory under the apache directory?
So to recap this is the script
#!/bin/bash
apachectl stop
cd /
cd <web app directory>
apachectl start
--------------------------
put it in /etc/init.d/boot.local
#!/bin/bash
apachectl stop
cd /
cd <web app directory>
apachectl start
--------------------------
put it in /etc/init.d/boot.local
the command should be in the path. The directory <> is a placeholder.
OH sorry i forgot something...
#!/bin/bash
apachectl stop
cd /
cd <web app directory>
<command to start desired service>
apachectl start
#!/bin/bash
apachectl stop
cd /
cd <web app directory>
<command to start desired service>
apachectl start

Can this be don to run as a task at boot instead of a logon script? Nobody logs onto this box, so I am really looking to just have it run in the event the machine gets rebooted via update or some other strange occurrence.
yes i think so ...

ignore the Two hour thing of course, but the installation principle should be the same.
