Below is a simple init script that will run your ZNC server as a service. Create a new file in
/etc/init.d/ called
znc and paste the following code in it.
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: znc
# Required-Start: $local_fs $syslog $network
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start ZNC at boot time
# Description: Enable ZNC provided by /etc/init.d/znc.
### END INIT INFO
PID=`pidof znc`
case "$1" in
start)
if [[ $PID != "" ]]; then
echo "ZNC is already running"
exit 1
else
echo "Starting ZNC"
sudo -u ubuntu znc > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
;;
stop)
if [[ $PID != "" ]]; then
echo "Stopping ZNC"
kill -9 $PID > /dev/null 2>&1
else
echo "ZNC is not running"
exit 1
fi
;;
restart|reload)
if [[ $PID != '' ]]; then
echo "Stopping ZNC"
kill -9 $PID > /dev/null 2>&1
echo "Starting ZNC"
sudo -u ubuntu znc > /dev/null 2>&1
else
echo "ZNC is not running"
exit 1
fi
;;
status)
if [[ $PID != "" ]]; then
echo "ZNC is running"
else
echo "ZNC is not running"
fi
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
exit 2
;;
esac
After you've created the file you need to make it executable:
chmod +x /etc/init.d/znc
Then to add it to your runlevels run:
sudo update-rc.d znc defaults
Edit:
Apparently I should have read the docs. In the ZNC wiki are instructions for doing this. Ah well...
