Re: MV startup script at boot time???

[Barry Treahy <treahy@mmaz.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from Barry Treahy <treahy@mmaz.com>     ******

In my rc.M file I added:

# MiniVend Server:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.minivend ]; then
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.minivend
fi

and the rc.minivend script is:

#!/bin/sh
cd /ibin/minivend_3.12beta/bin
/ibin/minivend_3.12beta/bin/expireall -r
/ibin/minivend_3.12beta/bin/restart
