http://ubuntuforums.org – I need to re-order init scripts, particularly so that some of my own will run before certain others. What documentation should I be looking at for thorough information on how that is done (aside from the effects of the changes). This is in a cloud environment using the cloud-images tree, with cloud-init in the mix. Things I want to do include: set the host name before most things start configure ntpd.conf before NTP starts (is based on which instance it is) re-arrange the file tree layout before most things start MAYBE it would be sufficient to do a local init script BEFORE all others.

Stories similar to [ubuntu] need to re-order init scripts

I have OpenSuse 11.4.

I start some on-boot scripts inside /etc/init/boot.local.

Where could I move those scripts so that they would be started after all (most) environment variables got initialized?

These scripts need to be started really once, so things such as /etc/profile.local aren't candidates.

I try to start Sonar, which searches for Java in some strange way (instead just by look up JAVA

I'm using CloudInit to automate the startup of my instances on AWS.

Ubuntu's CloudInit package is very useful; however, the only documentation I've found on all of the available options is in their examples: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/view/head:/...

Numerous Google searches have failed me. Where can I find thorough documentation on CloudInit?

I've set up a debootstrap image in accordance with this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto

The machine is now booting, but it is not running my init scripts? I have a cp2node scripts which assigns the machine a hostname, mounts /dev/sda for swap and scratch, and mounts NFS shares.

What is the current state of Ubuntu's transition from init.d scripts to upstart?

As an attempt to create service init scripts for a server, I wrote some code which handles start, stop, restart, etc. This init.d script is installed correctly to /etc/init.d and both calls to /sb... [by kev117]

during the upgrade process I was wondered for "replace init.d", and I said "keep", not replace. Now, apache2 is not working. I tried removing and upgrading again, but doesnt start.

I have this error message:

sudo /etc/init.d/cron start

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g.

I have a file tree in a directory. This is used to build bootable systems on hard drives and flash drives. I've also used it to build images for virtual machines. I would like to make an AWS AMI from it (plus whatever tweaks are needed to make it cloud worthy, like the cloud-init stuff). For now I am exploring how to make an EBS backed AMI.

I have installed on my CentOS server postgresql service and another one called netnfork.
