Running evrouter at boot with init.d, or after xserver starts
- by J V
I'm using evrouter to set up mouse button binds, and init.d to start it.
My init.d file:
#!/bin/bash
#Simple init.d script to run evrouter
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: evrouter
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Set evrouter bindings
# Description: Set evrouter bindings at boot time.
### END INIT INFO
config="/opt/hacks/evrouterrc"
case "$1" in
start|restart|reload|force-reload)
evrouter -c "$config" /dev/input/event*
;;
stop)
echo "Evrouter is not a daemon, change settings file at '$config' and restart"
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 start" >&2
exit 3
;;
esac
evrouter however complains that:
evrouter: could not open display "".
If evrouter requires xserver to be up, how do I get init to wait until after xserver starts to run this script?
If xserver restarts will this script run automatically?
Running this with sudo services evrouter start still results in this error, can init.d scripts not tell where my display is?
(Not exactly familiar with init, runlevels, etc)
