Need to add app as service, but still doing something wrong
Hi (i am newbie)
i need to setup new service, in ReadyNAS 312, that would be launched after every startup (after restart).
I have achieved installing mongodb + mFi both correctly. mFi is the application.
Application is location in /apps/mFi/ folder.
I have this launch script inside /apps/mFi/mfi.sh
script works ok, also the mFi application itself. It can be run or stopped by calling above script with command "sh mfi.sh start" or "sh mfi.sh stop".
As i have found, application is not launched after NAS unit restart. And i am unable to add it as a new service.
I was trying to use same guide as here (with teamspeak viewtopic.php?f=153&t=77743) but with no succes
i have tried creating file named mfi.service and placing it also into /lib/systemd/system/
maybe code is wrong
and then adding service by "update-rc.d mfi defaults" or "update-rc.d mfi.service defaults" or "update-rc.d mFi defaults" with no success, it gave me this error or similar:
could you help?

This really works.
Or just simply:
touch /apps/mFi/config.xmlThank you!
# touch /apps/mFi/.localapp- Ok, thanks for the advice. Probably i have already did whole procedure with teamspeak service, but i forgot to make notes.
Maybe you could help me further with creating shortcut for mFi application, that would be displayed inside NAS admin - applications:
I have this "config.xml" file for teamspeak 3 placed in /apps/teamspeak3/ folder, that works well. So I have copied this file also into /apps/mFi/ folder.
I have tried changing servicename to "mfi.service" and debianpackage and resource id both to "MFi". Also launchurl port is changed to 6334 and reserveport too.
But application shortcut is displaying only in NAS admin frontend, but it is not displaying further in applications where i could turn service off / on.
Could you help me with this? I want to create controller that would be able to turn this service off / on directly from NAS admin - applications, as well as other standart apps.
/apps/mFi/config.xml

Probably i have some error in debianpackage or resource id names, but where do i get them? (we are talking about mFi application) - Don't use update-rc.d. Everything should be started using systemctl. Glad you've solved your problem.
