RHEL4 init.d LCDd
| Author | unknown |
| Description | Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 start script for LCDd. |
| Supports |
You'll need to copy the following file to /etc/init.d/LCDd then from within the /etc/init.d directory run:
chmod 755 LCDd
After you've done that you can verify that its working buy running:
/etc/init.d/LCDd restart
You should see it fail to stop (assuming its not running already) and then succeed in starting.
If all that goes as planned the last step is to set it up to start at boot. To do this we use the trusty chkconfig command as follows:
chkconfig --add LCDd chkconfig LCDd on
Thats it.
You can double check that its there and ready to run if you'd like by running:
chkconfig --list | less
And scrolling through all the startup scripts.
That really should be it. Once the VFD is working all you need to do is go into setup>setup>appearance and configure Myth to use the LCD display. Again Issac, I bow my head. :)
Hope this helps.
