Start a server software at system boot time

Posted on by Dave

I needed to start svnserve at boot time as a particular user on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. After looking at this and this posts, I came up with the following:

/etc/rc.d/rc.local
su svn -c "svnserve -d"

 

This effectively runs svnserve in daemon mode as svn user after all other init scripts ran at boot time.
