root@libove.UUCP (Jay M. Libove) (10/02/88)
A trivial startup script for the recently posted multi user system V
mazewar game, to avoid having to run the mazedaemon in the /etc/rc.
With /usr/games/mazewar below, and /usr/games/lib/maze{war,daemon}
installed, with the mazedaemon root owned games (or whatever) group, and
assuming that your "ps -e" returns only the first eight characters of an
executing command line... (tune this as necessary; run the mazedaemon
and do a "ps -e" and see how much of "mazedaemon" you get)
: use /bin/sh
# determine if the mazedaemon is already running
daemon=`ps -e | awk '/mazedaem$/ { print $1 }'`
# if not (that is, if the awk comes back not (not empty)) then run the daemon
if [ ! -n "$daemon" ]
then /usr/games/lib/mazedaemon &
fi
# exec the game itself
exec /usr/games/lib/mazewar $*
