This bit is in testing (running as user ventrilo)

* db accounts set ventrilo user PasswordSet no ForwardAddress admin
* signal-event user-create ventrilo
* cd /home/e-smith/files/users/ventrilo/home
* mkdir ventrilo
* cd ventrilo
* wget http://magicwilly.webhostingpal.com/SME7%20How%20To%20Files/Ventrilo/ventrilo_srv-2.3.1-Linux-i386.tar.gz
* tar -xzf ventrilo_srv-2.3.1-Linux-i386.tar.gz
* wget http://magicwilly.webhostingpal.com/SME7%20How%20To%20Files/Ventrilo/ventrilo
* chmod 755 ventrilo
* cp ventrilo /etc/rc.d/init.d/ventrilo
* ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S99ventrilo
* /sbin/e-smith/db configuration set ventrilo service status enabled
* chown -R ventrilo /home/e-smith/files/users/ventrilo/home/ventrilo
* db accounts setprop ventrilo Shell /bin/bash
* chsh -s /bin/bash ventrilo
* /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
* /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade

The following should now start the server...

* /etc/rc7.d/S99ventrilo start

I'll do the install bit later.

Assume Ventrilo is installed in /opt/ventrilo and will be run as root.

Starting Ventrilo at boot up

Using pico create the start/stop script

pico /etc/rc.d/init.d/ventrilo

Enter the following

#!/bin/sh
#
case $1 in
*start)
echo "Starting Ventrilo Server."
cd /opt/ventrilo/
./ventrilo_srv -d
echo "Ventrilo Server Started"
;;
*stop)
echo "Shutting Down Ventrilo Server."
cd /opt/ventrilo/
kill `cat ventrilo_srv.pid`
echo "Ventrilo Server Is Now Down"
;;
*restart)
echo "Restarting Ventrilo Server..."
cd /opt/ventrilo/
kill `cat ventrilo_srv.pid`
./ventrilo_srv -d
echo "Ventrilo Server Restarted"
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0

Save and exit pico

Control-x, yes, enter

Now we set some permissions for the file we just created

chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/init.d/ventrilo

Then we give SME control over it

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S99ventrilo

We then need a database entry to determine if it should start or not

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration set ventrilo service status enabled

Then we let SME know about the changes we have made

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade

Finally a reboot

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

And if we want to see the log files via server-manager

mkdir /var/log/ventrilo
ln -s /opt/ventrilo/ventrilo_srv.log /var/log/ventrilo/ventrilo_srv.log
