81.149.174.246: /* Startup script for RedHat (Fedora, RHEL, Centos, SME7, ...) */

<center>[[FAQ_amuled|English]] | [[FAQ_amuled-de|German]] | [[FAQ_amuled-es|Spanish]]</center>

[[aMuled]] is a full featured [[aMule]], running without any user interface ([http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/G/Graphical_User_Interface_GUI.html GUI]). It is controlled by remote access through [[aMuleWeb]], [[aMuleCMD]], [[aMuleGUI]] or other [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What_is_ED2K?|ed2k]] [[FAQ_utils|utilities]].

Stripped from [http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/G/Graphical_User_Interface_GUI.html GUI], [[aMuled]] has reduced memory and CPU requirements and it can run without [http://www.xfree86.org X] at all.

'''Please note:''' Remember '''not''' to set your max-Connections higher than 1024, since [[wxBase]] cannot handle more connections.

If you just need to run [[aMule]] on a remote server [[FAQ_aMule#Is there any way to start aMule with no graphical interface?|try Xvfb]] (see [[FAQ_aMule#Can_I_manage_aMule_remotely_through_telnet_in_the_same_way_I_do_with_eDonkey?|this]] too).

=== Startup script ===
Here is an ''amuled'' startup script to make ''amuled'' start and stop with your computer. It is derived from the one at [[aMuleWeb]], but follows stricter quoting rules, doesn't require a configuration file in ''/etc/defaults'', and doesn't start a web server.

Run ''su'', or prefix commands with ''sudo'', to become root.

Edit the ''USER='' line to set it to your current user (as reported by ''whoami'').

Copy the script as ''/etc/init.d/amuled'':

cp amuled /etc/init.d/amuled

Make it executable:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/amuled

Set it to run at startup:

#on debian distros:
update-rc.d amuled defaults
#on a generic distro
ln -s /etc/init.d/amuled /etc/rc0.d/K20amuled;
ln -s /etc/init.d/amuled /etc/rc1.d/K20amuled;
ln -s /etc/init.d/amuled /etc/rc6.d/K20amuled;
ln -s /etc/init.d/amuled /etc/rc4.d/S20amuled
ln -s /etc/init.d/amuled /etc/rc5.d/S20amuled

The script contains the following lines:

#!/bin/bash

NAME=$(basename "$0")
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON=/usr/bin/amuled
DESC=amuled
USER=g2p #A user who already ran amule once to configure it.

test -x "$DAEMON" || exit 0

case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
su "$USER" -c "$(printf "%q -f" "$DAEMON" )"
echo "$NAME."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
killall --quiet "$DAEMON"
echo "$NAME."
;;
restart|force-reload)
echo -n "Restarting $DESC: "
killall --quiet "$DAEMON"
sleep 1
su "$USER" -c "$(printf "%q -f" "$DAEMON" )"
;;
*)
printf "Usage: %q {start|stop|restart|force-reload}\n" "$0" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0

=== Startup script for RedHat (Fedora, RHEL, Centos, SME7, ...) ===

Run ''su'', or prefix commands with ''sudo'', to become root.

Edit the ''USER='' line to set it to your current user (as reported by ''whoami'').

Copy the script as ''/etc/init.d/amuled'':

cp amuled /etc/init.d/amuled

Make it executable:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/amuled

Then register the service :

chkconfig --add amuled

The alternate script contains the following lines :

#!/bin/sh
# aMule - script shell pour l'arret/demarrage du service

# description: amule p2p download service
# chkconfig: 345 97 03

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

USER=p2p #A user who already ran amule once to configure it.

RETVAL=0

case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting amule daemon: "
daemon --user=$USER amuled -f
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/amule
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping amule daemon: "
killproc amuled
RETVAL=$?
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/amule && rm -f /var/lock/amule
echo
;;
status)
status amuled
RETVAL=$?
;;
restart|force-reload)
$0 stop
$0 start
RETVAL=$?
;;
*)
printf "Usage: %q {start|stop|status|restart|force-reload}\n" "$0" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac

exit $RETVAL
