UserScripts

rc-scripts-user allows users to run scripts at system startup and shutdown.

how to use

Create ~/.config/init.d/script_name.init. It must accept one argument, it will be either “start” or “stop”. Scripts must also allow “restart” and “reload” arguments, but are not required to perform any action in those cases.

Sample user scripts

irssi

~/.config/init.d/irssi.init

#!/bin/sh

# TODO: replace pidof with something that takes into account
# only processes from this user

# download fifo_remote.pl irssi script to control it remotelly
REMOTE="$HOME/.irssi/remote-control"
install_fifo_remote()
{
        install -d ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun
        cd ~/.irssi/scripts
        wget http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~sparky/fifo_remote.pl
        cd autorun
        ln -s ../fifo_remote.pl .
        rm $REMOTE
        mkfifo $REMOTE
        chmod 600 $REMOTE
}

case "$1" in
        start)
                [ -p "$REMOTE" ] || install_fifo_remote

                if ! pidof irssi > /dev/null; then
                        screen -d -m -S irssi irssi
                fi
                ;;
        stop)
                pidof irssi > /dev/null || exit 0

                echo "quit System shutdown" > $REMOTE

                usleep 10000
                if pidof irssi > /dev/null; then
                        sleep 1
