launch service as teamspeak user on startup

[ctrlz]

is anyone know how to launch the teamspeak service on a linux box (I use a mandrake 9.1 distribution)?

Is the service may run as teamspeak user?

Is it possible to chroot the teamspeak user?

I suppose I need a script in my /etc/rc.d/init.d directory but my tries were unsuccessfull

Any ideas are welcome...
Thanks

You have to make a symlink of that script to one of the rcX.d dirs! I guess rc2.d should be right (I'm not familiar with Mandrake, on Suse > 7.2 I would choose rc3.d)! There might be a description of the runlevels in the /etc/inittab. So, make a symlink from your script to (e.g.) ../rc2.d/K99tss2d. Then the script will be executed on boot! "K<number>" is the order in which the scripts are executed. Means, the higher the number the later the execution.

Good luck!

Presumably the K* rc.d link is for stopping the service, and the S* link is for starting it.

...or maybe that way. As I said, I haven't done this for myself, yet!
"S" could be "start", or "stop", or shutdown. And "K", well..., whatever!
I just thought "K" comes before "S" in the alphabet ;)
