How to add custom service to v2.1?

[robi]

I've made a custom perl script doing things in the background. I start it with "daemon -p /var/run/myapp.pid /root/my_app.pl"

I even made a service script (myapp.sh):```
#!/bin/sh

Service handler for pitty plyayer

rc_start() {
        daemon -p /var/run/myapp.pid /root/my_app.pl
}

rc_stop() {
        [ -f "/var/run/myapp.pid" ] && kill -9 cat /var/run/myapp.pid && rm -f /var/run/myapp.pid
}

case $1 in
        start)
                rc_start
                ;;
        stop)
                rc_stop
                ;;
        restart)
                rc_stop
                rc_start
                ;;
esac

Question is: how to add it to the system so that it can be viewed through the web interface?

I tried to add to /etc/inc/service-utils.inc this, but it doesn't appear in the list:```
        if(isset($config['myapp']['enable'])) {
                $pconfig = array();
                $pconfig['name'] = "myapp";
                $pconfig['description'] = gettext("My App");
                $services[] = $pconfig;
        }

The simplest way is to just add it into your config.xml as a <service>…</service> tag as used by packages. Plenty of examples in the package repo xml files.

OK I'll try that, thanks.

I already thougt of making a package for it, but the product is not ready yet.
