Merge lp:~ensoft-opensource/ensoft-sextant/startup-service into lp:ensoft-sextant

Add etc/sextantweb.conf, a file to be copied to /etc/init to provide a service called sextantweb which can be started/stopped using sudo service sextantweb start.

I am very hazy on whether or not this file is correct - I've tested it a bit on a virtual machine and it didn't break anything, but I can't guarantee that it really is right (I'm a bit scared of things which run at startup). Please don't merge this until someone who knows about these things has had a look at it!

Update setup.py to include the sextantweb.conf file

[Patrick Stevens (patrickas)]

Two comments

[Patrick Stevens (patrickas)]

It seems to work correctly without that first commented line - shall I remove it?

[Simon C (slimey)]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel - your current [2-5] looks right (as much as we care, this is all a bit retro tbh)

(And yes, I would kill the tty1 comment)

[ChrisD (gingerchris)]

Yeah, go for it.

Remove apparently useless comment line from sextantweb.conf startup script

Merge trunk changes

[Phil Connell (pconnell)]

I'd suggest mirroring what endroid does, for a bit of consistency (since we know it works!):

- Move to etc/init/sextantweb.conf in the repo.
- Add description and author fields.
- Consider using more descriptive triggers for start on/stop on.
- Starting/stopping on networking being available seems like a decent idea, since it's a bit useless otherwise.

Start SextantWeb on network availability and stop on shutdown or on network-stop, rather than starting on startup and stopping on shutdown. Add description and author fields to init file, and move to etc/init/sextantweb.conf.

Sounds sensible - I've done that. Didn't think of looking in Endroid!

Install sextant.conf to /etc as well as etc/ in the sextant package folder

21. By Phil Connell <email address hidden> on 2014-09-02

Make sure webservice uses global config file

By default, path/to/python/pkgs/dist-pkgs/sextant-xyz/etc/sextant.conf is used
instead.
