Hello

I have a teamspeak server I'd like to start as a specific user on boot.

What would be the secure and correct way to do this?
Make a rc.teamspeak script and sudo it on bootup?

Thanks
Morten

I have tss:tss as user:group and this in /etc/rc.d/rc.tss:

#!/bin/sh

WORKDIR='/usr/local/share/tss'
TSS_BIN='teamspeak2-server_startscript'

cd $WORKDIR

case "$1" in
start)
sudo -u tss $WORKDIR/$TSS_BIN start
;;
stop)
sudo -u tss $WORKDIR/$TSS_BIN stop
;;
restart)
$0 stop && $0 start
;;
status)
sudo -u tss $WORKDIR/$TSS_BIN status
;;
passwords)
sudo -u tss $WORKDIR/$TSS_BIN passwords
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status|passwords}"
;;
esac


ciao

idunno the transpeak server, but in general, the simplest
way is to add the proper commands to /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
no need to use sudo for anything here. all the startup
scripts run with root permissions already.

if you want to have start/stop/resart control of the
server, then make yourself some /etc/rc.d/rc.transpeak like:
--------------------
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
start)
echo "put start command here"
;;
stop)
echo "put stop command here"
;;
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "put syntax errmsg here"
;;
esac
#the end.
--------------------

run it at boottime by simply calling it from your
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file, something like:

# start transpeak server:
/etc/rc.d/rc.transpeak start



'sokay?

But I don't want it to have root permissions? It should be run as a
restricted user...

or rather:

# start transpeak server:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.transpeak ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.transpeak start
fi

Hi,

But how do you make teamspeak run on a specific user account and NOT root ?
