Create a custom Service in UNRAID

[hanzo]

I have a shell script which I would like to run as a daemon/service.

 

I had a look at the User Scripts plugin and whilst it can run the script. I cannot stop/restart the script.

 

#!/bin/bash

cd /root/myapp

if pgrep -x "/root/myapp/./app" > /dev/null
   then
      echo "Already running"
   else
      echo "Not running. Starting..."
      /root/myapp/./app
fi

 

Is it possible to do something like this in UNRAID?

 

# service myapp start
# service myapp stop
# service myapp restart
# service myapp start
# systemctl start myapp
# systemctl stop myapp
# systemctl restart myapp
# systemctl status myapp

 

Thanks.

unRAID uses Slackware. Slackware's path to the services is /etc/rc.d

 

List all services:

ls /etc/rc.d

 

Restart a service:

/etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd restart
