An addional startup script.

[DeeJay]

Hello.
I had an idea about beeing able to start and stop my Teamspeak 2 server thru init.d scripts, so I made a little shell script to help me do that, the script will use 'sudo' command to start up the teamspeak 2 server as a defined user. All you have to do is edit the variables in the top (I made comments) and have sudo installed.

NOTE: This requires you have the 'sudo' command and Teamspeak2 (with teamspeak2-server_startscript) installed.

Installation on a Debian system:
1) Copy the code into /etc/init.d/teamspeak (Make sure to edit the 3 variables in the top)
2) Make the script executeable with 'chmod +x /etc/init.d/teamspeak' (without quotes)
3) Run 'cd /etc/init.d/' (without quotes)
4) Run 'update-rc.d teamspeak defaults'

That should be it. Enjoy.

#!/bin/sh
 
##### Teamspeak directory (NO TAILING /)
TSD="/home/deejay/ts2"
 
##### User to start teamspeak2 with.
TSU="deejay"
 
#### ts2 start script (teamspeak2-server_startscript is default in the linux packages)
TSCRIPT="teamspeak2-server_startscript"

if [ $UID != "0" ]
then
        echo "This start script can only be run as root!"
        exit 1
fi
CUR="$PWD"
case "$1" in
start)
        cd $TSD
        sudo -u $TSU ./$TSCRIPT start
        cd $CUR
;;
stop)
        cd $TSD
        sudo -u $TSU ./$TSCRIPT stop
        cd $CUR
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/teamspeak2 {start|stop}"
exit 1
