OpenSuse 11.2 & Subsonic

[daniell]

I still have problems with autostart of subsonic.sh in OpenSuse 11.2
Can't find where to put the startup routine.. And there is no (/etc/rc.local)
Anybody.. pls..

I'm running subsonic with openSuSE 11.2. In fact I just donated because I think this program is so well-executed. But it doesn't have a good initscript for openSuSE.

Here is the script that I'm using, made by combining the script that came with subsonic and a suse startup script. I don't want to run subsonic as root, so the script uses sudo to run it as another user of my choice.

It assumes that you've already created a user for subsonic to run as and a directory for it (this should command create a system account: useradd --system -s /bin/false -g nobody -D <YOUR SUBSONIC DIRECTORY> subsonic). It assumes your settings are in /etc/sysconfig/subsonic.

Your mileage may vary. Review the script and use at own risk. In particular I am not a programmer or sysadmin (anymore), so I'm merely assuming that using sudo here makes things more secure.
