How to start a script at startup/shutdown?

[lyzanxia]

Just starting with freenas 8 and am puzzled how to get sabnzbd started at startup.
Have a script ready, but where can I hook it up?
Rc.d seems to be overwritten by freenas on startup, and the cron @reboot option seems to be missing?

ps: I read that on 7.2 you have some sort of postinit option in the gui..

Any help would be welcome :)

Thanks
Nico

Ya where is the so called System > Advanced > Command script ?

In freenas 7 there was System > Advanced > Command script then select "postinit" but ya i am using freenas 8 now and cannot find a way to add a startup script either? Hopefully i can figure something out.... so ya bump

I doesn't exist in FreeNAS 8, there's a ticket requesting it as a feature already. Here's a link if you want to add a +1

You can create /conf/base/etc/rc.local and add commands like below that will start when the system boots:

Code:

#/bin/sh
/usr/bin/uptime > /var/log/uptime.log

You'll need to do it from the console / command line.
First 'mount -uw /'
Then you can use vi, ee, or nano to edit/create rc.local

I have question about the rc.local file, I can name it anything right, like rc.job1 in /conf/base/etc/? and do i need to set mod executable for it?

I could be mistaken, but I think the system looks specifically for a file called "rc.local", but yes, you should make it executable also.

Thank you for your quick answer, so if I want two scripts in start up so I should add all commands to the "rc.local"?

Yes. Use "rc.local" for your custom startup commands. According to the man page it's the older, not to mention simpler, method, but it's still fully supported.
