(I have searched and didn't fine what i was looking for)
Recently I installed GNU Health using Ubuntu 14.04.3 following the wikibooks tutorial. Everything worked as expected. But i have to boot up the Tryton server manually every time i start/restart ubuntu. (as given in https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Installation#Booting_up_the_Tryton_Server ). I was wondering if there any way to make it boot automatically at system startup. A script was found in a site but that seemed to be outdated and didn't work. Is there any application or script to boot the server automatically? so that i can use the machine as server without any screen/keyboard/mouse?
This is not specific tryton question but more ubuntu question. You need setup init script and install it to System-V scripts.
Puts this script to /etc/init.d/tryton-server file, replace DEAMON variable with your trytond path, check other variables. Then run update-rc.d tryton-server defaults command.
