Have a nice day !

Init.d scripts are executed with root privileges so no need to use sudo inside the script.

if I normally needs the sudo command to execute the tracd standalone server. Where do I specify this in the script ?

Thanks

I really didn’t think about *BSD when I wrote it (I admit I never even used one).

Creating a separate configuration file is a nice thing, I just don’t know if it worth the effort for such short script.

Unfortunately, it fails on FreeBSD (though I understand that most probably you haven’t targeted it): default trac binary location is different, /lib/lsb/init-functions not found, /sbin/start-stop-daemon not found.

Anyways, why don’t you try to contribute this to Trac-hacks scripts so it appears on community pages? (Trac project itself does not want to host them: http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/4352)

Also, it would be nice to have user options (HOSTNAME, ENV_PARENT_DIR, PROJECT_ENV, PORT and ADDITIONAL_OPTS) parametrized, like in this script: http://adrenalinexp.wordpress.com/2008/03/23/freebsd-tracd-rcd-script/

I’ve added a wget’able version, see update to post.

Apparently I had some escaping issue that caused characters like | and ; not to show up, hence messing up the code. I fixed it and the script should run fine now.

Thanks for reporting
