Well I had a power failure last night so the Rasberry PI got rebooted this morning. I started googling ways to start mystic up automagically and have tried a few things, but ended up creating a script in my /etc/rc.d folder
which I hope to use to start and stop mis and mis2.

In doing this I decided to start mis in DAEMON mode (ie mis -d). However, on
my shutdown script I'm not finding a way to shutdown mystic. Does anyone
have a way to do this?

Here's my /etc/init.d/bbs script so far:

#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/noip


case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting Mystic"
sudo /mystic/mis -d
sudo /mystic/mis2 root /mnt/usbdrive/mystic DAEMON
;;

stop)
echo "Stop Mystic"
sudo /mystic/mis2 SHUTDOWN
;;

*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/bbs {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac

stop)
echo "Stop Mystic"

PID=$(cat /mysticpath/semaphore/mis.bsy)
kill $PID

sudo /mystic/mis2 SHUTDOWN
;;

try adding the above the pid is stored in the mis.bsy file. you may want to add some error checking to make sure the process is actually running.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

killall mis

That will do the trick, tell mis to shut down gracefully. :)

Looks like that did the trick.

Thanks for the feedback!
