problem with startup scripts

Praveen Bezawada — Fri, 29 Dec 2000 16:12:53 GMT

Hi
We have an application, we have written startup script for the same. the script when executed independently works fine. But after integrating with the system boot scripts, moving the script to /sbin/init.d and making the links in rc2.d and rc3.d. The application process is started but some how stopped immediately. I am unable to figure out what is stopping the application.
How should I do about this problem. Are there any system logs where I can check ? I have checked in rc.log, the startup process seems to be completed successfully. But no stopping log in that.
please help..thanks in advance

Hi,

If it is working on an other server, the fact that a process fall down could be a problem of resources. Have you checked difference in Kernel parameters between the 2 servers ? (Semaphors, ipc, ... )

The only thing that come in between is the ENV for the paricular script , in case you can run it independently and not through the automatic mode then executer the .profile for that user before the actual script get executed .

I am assuming you are using the standard startup/shutdown template .Try using "nohup" when you call the script ( to start the application ) from the startup script.

ex. nohup su - username -c "startup_script"
