If you’re on a *nix platform, look at the startup scripts in /etc/init.d
or
equivalent and make one for webrick. Recent Macs use launchd
with files named *.plist and again you can find plenty of examples to
use as a basis for your own script.

If you’re on Windows, I have no idea :slight_smile:

Hi Hassan
I am using linux only. I tried to create script on /etc/init.d. But, it
doesnt start the webrick server within my project data @ ~/sample. If u
know
the script for initiating webrick from the /etc/init.d to my project
data @
~/sample during starting of OS kindly help me.

I don’t use webrick, but init scripts are pretty trivial. Post what you
tried and explain how it failed.

You need to place a symbolic link in the directory of your current
runlevel. It’s something like /etc/rcX.d/. You get your current runlevel
by executing runlevel. On Debian based system it’s supposed to be 2.
So you have to place the link in /etc/rc2.d.

Hi hassan,

Your suggestion is valuable. I tried as you told…

This script is working if i initiate as “/etc/init.d/webrick”. But, it
doesnt start with system boot. (I provided 777 permission too…), I
dont
know this will be permission issue for execution or some other issue.

Dear All,

I included the /etc/init.d/webrick to System->Preferences->Startup
Applications->Add “/etc/init.d/webrick”. Now its started and keep on
running
in my Linux. Thanks lot everyone for giving your suggestions. If you

Dear Jan,

I created symbolic link of /etc/init.d/webrick to /etc/rc2.d/webrick.
Still,
its same problem. The server is not starting at system boot up.

I feel that webrick start during system boot and stoped immediately
without
keep on running. Any way to keep on running webrick in linux?

Note that this (I believe) will start it when you login, not when you
boot. That may be ok for you of course, but is not actually what you
asked for.

Dear Collin,

You are exactly correct, I accept. Up to my requirement, startup is
enough
to initiate webrick. Ofcourse, It needs to be do so, for boot time
initiation.
