Trying to run on start on Alpine Linux using OpenRC

[tenwa]

Hello, noob to this, hope someone can help me, I'm trying to run Glances at startup on Alpine Linux with OpenRC, I'm trying the following config file in /etc/init.d/

#!/sbin/openrc-run

# This service runs Glances in web UI mode.

description="Glances system monitor in web UI mode"

# The command to start Glances.
command="/usr/bin/glances"
command_args="--web"

# The user to run Glances as.
user=root

# The group to run Glances as.
group=root

# The working directory for Glances.
working_dir=/

# The pidfile for Glances.
pidfile=/var/run/glances.pid

When I start this service, the process runs, but is then not returning back to the console, its just sat there running the glances app, so if I boot the system with this setup, it start this service and then booting stops.

So what am I missing is what is it that makes it spawn this process off, and let the boot continue.

Tim.

To answer my own question, the missing option was

command_background=yes

With that added all is good..
