Ive been reading everywhere on how to do this, and I understand how to do it, but for some reason I cannot get it to work correctly.
I simply want to run a jar file on restart or boot, the jar file is a server bot for teamspeak3, and its basically needs to run after teamspeak has started.
The code I want to run on boot is
screen -d -m -S ts3bot java -jar JTS3ServerMod.jar
file name and location for the .conf:
$ cat /etc/init/serverbot.conf
description "serverbot"
author "Peter"
start on runlevel [3]
stop on shutdown
expect fork
script
cd /home/teamspeak/sbot
screen -d -m -S ts3bot java -jar JTS3ServerMod.jar >/var/log/sbot.log 2>&1
emit serverbot_running
end script
when I run the code as root this is what i get
$ start serverbot
start: Job failed to start
I then go into logs @ /var/log/upstart I see this
/proc/self/fd/9: 2: cd: can't cd to /home/teamspeak/sbot
If i change cd to chdir I still get the same results. the folder /home/teamspeak/sbot does exist
Anyone know what could be causing this? Ownership issues? When upstart runs the .conf, under what user is it run? I don't understand whats going on here.
root@fister4:/# namei -mo /home/teamspeak/sbot
f: /home/teamspeak/sbot
drwxr-xr-x root root /
drwxr-xr-x root root home
drwxr-xr-x teamspeak teamspeak teamspeak
drwxr-xr-- teamspeak teamspeak sbot
