vrrpd init script

This is the init script I use to startup the vrrpd daemon at boot time.

The script uses parameters in the /etc/default/vrrpd file to exec the vrrpd daemon.

It has been tested with vrrpd 1.0 on Debian 3.1.

Download 

vrrpdinit.tar It contains both /etc/init.d/vrrpd and /etc/default/vrrpd

Installation

• Download vrrpdinit.tar (for example into /root)
  


• Extract file from .tar:
  cd /root
tar -xf vrrpdinit.tar



• Move vrrpd.init.d in /etc/init.d/vrrpd:
  cd /etc/init.d
mv /root/vrrpd.init.d vrrpd



• Assign vrrpd the right permissions:
  chown root:root vrrpd
chmod u=rwx,go=rx vrrpd



• Move vrrpd.default in /etc/default/vrrpd:
  cd /etc/default
mv /root/vrrpd.default vrrpd



• Assign vrrpd the right permissions:
  chown root:root vrrpd
chmod u=rw,go=r vrrpd



• Install the System-V init script links:
  update-rc.d vrrpd defaults 15 85



• Edit /etc/default/vrrpd and set, at least, IPADDR and IFNAME
  


• Start (and stop) vrrpd using the init.d script:
  invoke-rc.d vrrpd start
invoke-rc.d vrrpd stop
