5.3. Unix SYSV startup script

The Radiator distribution contains a Unix/Linux SYSV compatible startup script in goodies/linux-radiator.init.

To use this script to start and stop Radiator by hand or automatically at boot time, on Linux as root. Note that the exact location and command to enable the script may vary between different systems:

cp goodies/linux-radiator.init /etc/init.d/radiator
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/radiator
chkconfig -add radiator

This startup script responds to the following commands:

/etc/init.d/radiator start
Starts the Radiator server running in the background as a service. This is the default command which will be used to start Radiator automatically at boot time when the startup script is automatically run.
/etc/init.d/radiator stop
Stop the Radiator server.
/etc/init.d/radiator restart
Stop then restart the Radiator server.
/etc/init.d/radiator reload
Forces the Radiator server to reread its configuration file. It does this by sending a HUP signal to the server.
/etc/init.d/radiator status
Prints the current status of the Radiator server process.
/etc/init.d/radiator traceup
Increases the current Radiator server Trace level by one. It does this by sending a USR1 signal to the server.
/etc/init.d/radiator tracedown
Decreases the current Radiator server Trace level by one. It does this by sending a USR2 signal to the server.
