# install tinydns (djbdns) & daemontools on ubuntu 14.04
 
apt-get -y install daemontools
apt-get -y install daemontools-run
apt-get -y install ucspi-tcp
apt-get -y install djbdns

# NOTE: installing daemontools-run takes care of this, else
# would need to add a conf file for booting:
#
#cd /etc/init/
#touch svscan.conf
#echo "start on runlevel [2345]" > svscan.conf
#echo "" >> svscan.conf
#echo "expect fork" >> svscan.conf
#echo "respawn" >> svscan.conf
#echo "exec svscanboot" >> svscan.conf
 
service svscan start

# NOTE: to stop & start manually:
# stop:
#    svc -d /etc/service/tinydns
# start:
#    svc -u /etc/service/tinydns
 
###
# Now configure the tinydns "data" file in /etc/tinydns/root/data,
# then run "make" in that directory to build the runtime data .cbd file and 
# restart tinydns.
