Celery not automatically starting on Amazon Linux AMI 2013.03.1

Question

I can't seem to automatically bootup my celeryd script located in /etc/init.d/celeryd everytime my Amazon Linux AMI 2013.03.1 machine is booted. I have to automatically do /etc/init.d/celeryd start . However, it boots perfectly and work right away.

Any ideas? I tried

sudo chkconfig /etc/init.d/celeryd on

Answer 1

You need to write a simple startup script:

Create a file called celeryd.sh

vim /etc/init.d/celeryd.sh

Inside that file:

#!/bin/sh

##Starts the celery on boot up###
/etc/init.d/celeryd start

Change permission:

chmod +x celeryd.sh 

Done.

You can do init 6 and test, if it works or not.
