Laptop, SSD, tmpfs and Sendmail

After my previous post about setting up Apache with tmpfs I realized I also need to start Sendmail. So let's use similar method:

Create a file:

$ sudo nano /etc/init.d/sendmail-tmpfs

with this content:

#!/bin/bash
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          sendmail-tmpfs
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop: 
# Short-Description: Create /var/spool/mqueue and /var/log/mqueue-client  on tmpfs at startup
# Description:       Create directory structure needed by Sendmail.
### END INIT INFO

#
# main()
#
case "${1:-''}" in
  'start')
   # create needed directory structure for sendmail
   mkdir /var/spool/mqueue
   mkdir /var/spool/mqueue-client
   chmod 777 /var/spool/mqueue
   chmod 777 /var/spool/mqueue-client

   ;;
  'stop')
   ;;
  'restart')
   ;;
  'reload'|'force-reload')
   ;;
  'status')
   ;;
  *)
   echo "Usage: $SELF start"
   exit 1
   ;;
esac

Let's make this file executable:

$ sudo chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/sendmail-tmpfs

And set it to start and stop before sendmail service when booting or halting the computer:

$ sudo update-rc.d sendmail-tmpfs defaults 20 20
