Running fixx as a service on Linux

To run fixx as a service on Linux, follow the steps below.

Note: The following script has been tested in Ubuntu but should work on most Linux/Unix flavours without modifications.

• Ensure your fixx instance is shutdown before you begin setting it up as a service.
• Download the startup script and place it in /etc/init.d/
• Open the script in your favourite editor and change the value of fixx_dir to the location of your base fixx installation.
• Run the following commands to enable fixx to be loaded on boot and shut-down automatically with your system.

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/fixx

ln -s /etc/init.d/fixx /etc/rc1.d/K99fixx

ln -s /etc/init.d/fixx /etc/rc2.d/S99fixx

That's it. You should be done now. You can start fixx by running /etc/init.d/fixx start
