Perforce W/ Synology

   I had perforce all up and running on my DS211j but when I upgraded to DSM 5 I lost p4 so I just had to re-install. If there was an official package then it would have hopefully been ok. Anyway here is what I did to get perforce installed. There may be better directories to put the binaries but my Synology box is only used as a P4 server and internal file server so it works for me.

   login to your synology box using ssh as root

   cd /volume1/homes/admin
   wget ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/r13.1/b … 6armel/p4d
   wget ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/r13.1/b … 26armel/p4
   chmod +x p4
   chmod +x p4d

   for first time install
   mkdir /volume1/p4root

   test to see if we are working
   /volume1/homes/admin/p4d -r /volume1/p4root &

   use the following to work out the process id
   ps | grep p4d

   then do the following to kill the PID (the first number in the line from above)
   kill -9 PID

   cd /usr/syno/etc/rc.d
   touch S90p4d.sh
   vi S90p4d.sh

   paste the contents below into the file

   ——- start file after this line
   #!/bin/sh
   ### BEGIN INIT INFO
   # Provides: p4d
   # Required-Start: $local_fs $network $named $time $syslog
   # Required-Stop: $local_fs $network $named $time $syslog
   # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
   # Default-Stop: 0 1 6
   # Description: perforce service
   ### END INIT INFO

   SCRIPT=’/volume1/homes/admin/p4d -r /volume1/p4root’
   RUNAS=root

   PIDFILE=/var/run/p4d.pid
   LOGFILE=/var/log/p4d.log

   start() {
   if [ -f /var/run/$PIDNAME ] && kill -0 $(cat /var/run/$PIDNAME); then
   echo ‘Service already running’ >&2
   return 1
   fi
   echo ‘Starting service…’ >&2
   local CMD=”$SCRIPT &> \”$LOGFILE\” & echo \$!”
   su -c “$CMD” $RUNAS > “$PIDFILE”
   echo ‘Service started’ >&2
   }

   stop() {
   if [ ! -f “$PIDFILE” ] || ! kill -0 $(cat “$PIDFILE”); then
   echo ‘Service not running’ >&2
   return 1
   fi
   echo ‘Stopping service…’ >&2
   kill -15 $(cat “$PIDFILE”) && rm -f “$PIDFILE”
   echo ‘Service stopped’ >&2
   }

   uninstall() {
   echo -n “Are you really sure you want to uninstall this service? That cannot be undone. [yes|No] ”
   local SURE
   read SURE
   if [ “$SURE” = “yes” ]; then
   stop
   rm -f “$PIDFILE”
   echo “Notice: log file is not be removed: ‘$LOGFILE'” >&2
   update-rc.d -f p4d remove
   rm -fv “$0”
   fi
   }

   case “$1” in
   start)
   start
   ;;
   stop)
   stop
   ;;
   uninstall)
   uninstall
   ;;
   retart)
   stop
   start
   ;;
   *)
   echo “Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|uninstall}”
   esac
   —— stop file above this line

   then test by
   ./S90p4d start
   ./S90p4d stop

   voila! You should now have p4 auto start each time you reboot
