I have installed smartmontools, and see that it has a more

/etc/rc.d/init.d/.
I am wondering if there is some way to start this as soon
as the machine is booted (even before logging in).
The /etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd script could also be used to install and run
smartd as a Windows service (see also NOTES on smartd man page).
Example:
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd status
Checking smartd status: not running.
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd install
Installing service smartd (depending on 'syslog-ng'):
done
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd status
Checking smartd status: installed as service 'smartd' but not running.
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd start
Starting service smartd: done
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd status
Checking smartd status: running as service 'smartd'.
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd stop
Shutting down smartd: done
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd status
Checking smartd status: installed as service 'smartd' but not running.
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd remove
Removing service smartd:
done
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd status
Checking smartd status: not running.
I would also recommend to change the service start type to "delayed".
Setting this is not yet supported by "cygrunsrv". It could be later set
in service GUI or with Windows CLI tool "sc".
Example:
$ sc qc smartd
...
START_TYPE : 2 AUTO_START
...
$ sc config smartd start= delayed-auto
...
$ sc qc smartd
...
START_TYPE : 2 AUTO_START (DELAYED)
...
Note the crude syntax: The space after "start=" is required.
Hope this helps,
Christian
