Start OpenERP Server on Startup

Given we have more than 1 openerp server to start, here is how to add openerp startup scripts

Steps:

• Place openerp startup script, i.e., openerp-test-7069 in /etc/init.d
• Change permission to 777 sudo chmod 777 openerp-test-7069
• Create symbolic link in all 6 rc*.d folders as following,

sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/openerp-test-7069 /etc/rc0.d/K22openerp-test-7069
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/openerp-test-7069 /etc/rc1.d/K22openerp-test-7069
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/openerp-test-7069 /etc/rc2.d/S22openerp-test-7069
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/openerp-test-7069 /etc/rc3.d/S22openerp-test-7069
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/openerp-test-7069 /etc/rc4.d/S22openerp-test-7069
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/openerp-test-7069 /etc/rc5.d/K22openerp-test-7069
