zebrasry daemon on

openSuSE

The daemon

command is not available on openSuSE. This is because the

corresponding package

daemon

is not included in openSuSE repositories for

However there are alternatives to the daemon command:

startproc:

For starting a process

killproc:

For stopping a process

We can modify the

koha- zebra -ctl . sh

file to work on openSuSE by replacing

the daemon

command with

startproc and

killproc

and suitably modifying the

options supplied to the commands.

The modified statements in

koha- zebra- ctl . sh

script may look like this:

start)

echo "Starting Zebra Server"

startproc -1 $ERRLOG $ZEBRASRV -f $KOHA_CONF

stop)

echo "Stopping Zebra Server"

killproc -TERM $ ZEBRASRV

restart)

echo "Restarting the Zebra Server"

killproc -TERM $ ZEBRASRV

startproc -1 $ ERRLOG $ZEBRASRV -f $KOHA_CONF

You will need to reinstall Koha once you have modified the script

to ensure that the modified koha - zebra- ct1. sh file is installed

in Koha's configuration folder - /etc /koha - dev /bin / .

Once the script is modified and installed, we can set it up as a service by creating a

symbolic link to it from the

/etc /init . d

folder:

linux -4yut: /home /koha # sudo In -s / etc /koha -dev /bin /koha- zebra- ctl.sh /

etc /init.d /koha- zebra - daemon
