Re: [SOLVED] How to auto-start an application during booting

dummy@example.com (MiyoLinux) — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 22:48:03 +0000

I just run the following commands as root...

ufw default deny

ufw enable

After that second command, it shows a message saying that ufw is enabled and added to system startup.

...and you can check if it's running with...

ufw status

I have done this.
Type in a console terminal... as root

 rc-update

you should get a list of services and their start-up status. like sysinit, default, off, recovery. (sorry it looks messy)

If your service is not listed to start you can add or del it from the list and run it, like this (for example)

rc-update add nftables default
rc-service nftables start

for the oposite, change add to del, and change start to stop.

I hope I got the question right, all the best. Glenn

[SOLVED] How to auto-start an application during booting

dummy@example.com (draden) — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 11:57:45 +0000

I would like to enable the firewall (ufw) and also TOR on my system's startup (Chimaera). I found that i need to update rc.local and add the following:

if [ -x /lib/ufw/ufw-init ]; then
/lib/ufw/ufw-init start
fi

Is that correct? Can someone help me how to configure these two process correctly? Also, openvpn auto-connect would be great. Now I am using cd /etc/openvpn sudo openvpn ....ovpn command in terminal.

Thanks!
