Configuring XDAQ applications to be started as system service

Edit the following three files:

/opt/xdaq/share/`cat /etc/xdaq.zone`/conf/myservicename.conf
/opt/xdaq/share/`cat /etc/xdaq.zone`/conf/myconfig.xml
/opt/xdaq/share/`cat /etc/xdaq.zone`/conf/xdaqd.`hostname -f`.conf

xdaqd.`hostname -f`.conf

This is a host-specific xdaqd config file which can be copied from /opt/xdaq/share/base/conf/xdaqd.conf. Edit the copied file and add myservicename to the setting of the shell variable STARTUP_LIST, e.g.

STARTUP_LIST="jobcontrol myservicename"

myservicename.conf

Set the shell variables XDAQ_CONFIG, XDAQ_LOG and XDAQ_PORT, e.g. as follows:

XDAQ_CONFIG=/opt/xdaq/share/`cat /etc/xdaq.zone`/conf/myconfig.xml
XDAQ_LOG=/var/log/myservicename.log
XDAQ_PORT=1972

myconfig.xml

This is an ordinary XDAQ configuration file.
