Hello,
Trying to figure out how to get dovecot to startup at boot. I saw the Ubuntu script on the dovecot site, but that didn't work on my system (SuSe 10.2). Of course, copying the /usr/local/sbin/dovecot file into /etc/init.d doesn't work at all. Any one have working SuSe script??
I don't have a SuSE script, but I use something like this on Solaris just adjust CFG and BIN to fit your needs
----begin----
#!/bin/sh # # Dovecot Secure IMAP/pop server
## please configure to fit your needs here CFG=/etc/dovecot.conf BIN=/usr/local/sbin/dovecot PROC=dovecot ## configuration ends if [ ! -f $CFG ]; then exit 0; fi
case $1 in
'start') $BIN -c $CFG ;; 'stop') pkill -KILL $PROC ;; 'restart') pkill -KILL $PROC sleep 2 $BIN -c $CFG ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" ;; esac
----end----
