Starting ESET anti-virus after boot

[aryvandaar]

I want to start ESET anti-virus after boot. What is the best way of accomplishing that?

 

Would cronie work for that task?

Local service is the very last thing to start.  You'd just need to create a file with .start as the extension in /etc/local.d/ like eset.start, then put a start up command in it like `/etc/init.d.eset start` or whatever your script is.

Sounds like a question for ESET support.  There should be some sort of init script for eset.  Don't know if it has an openrc compatible init script.  If it doesn't then you could probably use the /etc/local.d directory to store custom eset.start and eset.stop files.

 

See the readme in /etc/local.d/README

I know that there is an init script, and it is provided, and it works, but I don't want to run it on bootup. I want to run it after, without having to do it manually.

Local is the last service started - after all other services.  If you don't want to start it manually, that's the way to start it.

 

I guess one could use a cron job, but I think it would have to have logic to check it's status and ignore or start based on the status.

 

Why don't you want to use the init script?

It's not that I don't want to use it, but I didn't want to boot it so early.

 

When does the local services kick inn?

Thanks!
