README.SBo (copyparty) To run copyparty as a service that runs at boot, you must first make sure its init script is executable. # Run as root chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.copyparty Then you will want to add the following lines to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local to run copyparty on startup. # Start copyparty if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.copyparty ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.copyparty start fi After that, you will want to add the following lines to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown to gracefully stop copyparty on shutdown. If rc.local_shutdown does not already exist, you will want to create it and make it executable. # Stop copyparty if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.copyparty ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.copyparty stop fi When running copyparty from the SlackBuild's init script, copyparty will read configuration from /etc/copyparty.d/copyparty.conf. This SlackBuild also installs an example config file into copyparty's documentation directory, which you can consult for some guidance on writing your own configuration file.
