Autostart / Start on boot / Run at startup bug

Autostart / Start on boot / Run at startup bug

After a clean install to a new Ubuntu 22.04.4 system, installing the Software Controller (SC) v5.13.30.8 and its pre-requisites, all is running well.

After rebooting the VM, the SC does not start.  I have to start it manually, with tpeap start.

An old-style init.d script is used instead of a systemd service definition that would be appropriate for Ubuntu.

 

Is there a systemd service definition for the SC on Ubuntu?

 

$ sudo find /opt/tplink/ -type f -name \*service
$

 

---

I've discovered a few things:

  • Init.d is setup correctly
    • These files exist
      • /etc/init.d/tpeap
        • symlinked -> /opt/tplink/EAPController/bin/control.sh
      • /etc/rc0.d/K01tpeap
        /etc/rc1.d/K01tpeap
        /etc/rc2.d/S01tpeap
        /etc/rc3.d/S01tpeap
        /etc/rc4.d/S01tpeap
        /etc/rc5.d/S01tpeap
        /etc/rc6.d/K01tpeap

 

  • An error in syslog:
    • systemd-sysv-generator[451]: stat() failed on /etc/init.d/tpeap, ignoring: No such file or directory

 

  • The server storage layout separates / from /opt
    • $ df /
      Filesystem                1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
      /dev/mapper/vgub22-lvroot   8378368 2170420   6207948  26% /
    • $ df /opt
      Filesystem               1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
      /dev/mapper/vgub22-lvopt   2086912 695760   1391152  34% /opt

 

  • There is nothing in the SC User Guide to indicate / and /opt must be on the same disk.

 

I believe this separation causes the systemd-sysv-generator error, because the tpeap script in /etc/init.d is symlinked outside of the root filesystem.

Normally, you should be able to cp /opt/tplink/EAPController/bin/control.sh into /etc/init.d/, but it fails when running from there.

Hi @KHop 

Hi, the current implementation of controller follows the general Linux approach. I will forward your request about the systemd service definition between the Ubuntu and controller to the developer department, they will evaluate it.

Thanks for feedback.
