rc startup script

joe clark — Wed, 14 Nov 2001 16:11:47 GMT

We are running 2 sybase instances under 11i,
and some control-M software, the problem we
run into is that the first sybase instance may take 10 minutes to start up, and the 2nd instance is already starting up, but not successfully with control-m, if it is a timing problem, is there anyway to have the 2nd instance wait to start until the first application (pem with sybase), is fully started. Currrently we are using rc2.d for
the first instance and rc3.d for the 2nd instance. We are going to put some echo's in the 2nd startup to see how far it is getting in the its startup. Thanks in Advance

Why not combine the two startup scripts into one?

Hi Joe:

The easy answer is to have your first process write a lockfile when it is finished and have your second script loop with sleeps until the file is found. On the way down, your second script should remove the file and the first should loop until the file no longer is found.

I would think the easiest way to do this would be combine the two scripts into one as Harry has already mentioned. Then within the script, start up the databases and wait until they're up before starting up control-m.

Hope this helps.

Change your script for the second script
to loop until the first instance is started before it even tries to start its instance.

Hi
In second instance startup, loop on sleep till the first instance is started fully.

Thanks.
Prashant.
