[nos-bbs] ubuntu 9.1 compiles OK now, but...

[Bob Tenty]

In Ubuntu the consoles/ virtual tty's are started from

/etc/init/

Editing tty5.conf  for example (jnos running as "root")

# tty5 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on tty5 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on runlevel [23]
stop on runlevel [!23]

respawn
#exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty5
exec /srv/home-remote/hamradio/jnos/dojnos


"dojnos" is a bash/sh file that starts jnos in a console/virtual tty

To start the jnos executable "jnos" directly in console/virtual tty5

Replace the last line with:

exec /srv/home-remote/hamradio/jnos/jnos  tty5


Older versions  of Ubuntu use the directory /etc/event.d/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example:

editing the file "tty5"

# tty5 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on tty5 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on runlevel 2
start on runlevel 3

stop on runlevel 0
stop on runlevel 1
stop on runlevel 4
stop on runlevel 5
stop on runlevel 6

respawn
# exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty5
exec /bin/su - hamradio -c "/srv/home-remote/hamradio/jnos/dojnos"

The last line can be replaced for user "root" with:

exec /bin/su - root -c "/srv/home-remote/hamradio/jnos/dojnos"

or just..

exec /srv/home-remote/hamradio/jnos/dojnos

or without bash file "dojnos"  and using the jnos executable "jnos" 
directly:


exec /srv/home-remote/hamradio/jnos/jnos  tty5
