Hello, I'm trying to use a HTTP server with daemon on Linux, but, it does not works. I did a project that is working perfectly well on Windows, but on Linux, although the service is successfully installed, it does not starts the HTTP server. I followed this tutorial: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Daemons_and_Services You can download the project test in attached or in this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ljnq71u7lkpkz3w/daemon.zip And the shell script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/slwafuo9tj93ym7/project1.zip To test, follow these steps: 1. Compile the project1.lpr, and copy the generated executable to "/bin/"; 2. Unzip "project1.zip", it is just a shell script, and copy if to /etc/init.d/, after execute "# chmod +x project1" and "# service project1 start"; 3. Open your browser and access: http://localhost:5445; Where am I going wrong? Some time ago I've done this test, and if I not mistake it worked.

I changed it to the draft code (based on http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/97097-how-create-linux-service-daemon.html) below and it worked fine: #!/bin/bash case "$1" in start) # Start daemons. echo -n "Starting /bin/project1 daemon: " echo start-stop-daemon -S -b -x /bin/project1 -- -r echo ;; stop) # Stop daemons. echo -n "Shutting down /bin/project1: " start-stop-daemon -K -x /bin/project1 -- -r echo # Do clean-up works here like removing pid files from /var/run, etc. ;; status) status /bin/project1 ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart}" exit 1 esac exit 0
