How to autostart Mangos on Linux Ubuntu

[Tasador]

Hi, I just install Mangos on my linux, is there a way to have it launch on boot.

[lillecarl]

Sudo crontab -e

In crontab type

@reboot MANGISFILEHERE

Not sure I understand what you mean.

since with the insatallation we need to open 2 terminal windows so how does the crontab be hable to do that.

I used the restarter that was present in a other threat and it's working. thanks

also useful: "screen" -- http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/screen/

with screen you can run an application like in any other terminals, but detach the screen with "CTRL + A" and then "d" (for detach)

reatach it again with "screen -r name"

if you want to start it directly in the screen without interact: "screen -AdmS screen_name command"

for example:

screen -AdmS world bin/mangosd

screen -AdmS realm bin/realmd

to show you the running screens: (if only 1 exists it will autoatach)

screen -r

Yay, someone is using my restarter =)

EDIT:

screen -AmdS would be better for automation, then it is started in detached mode
