rc scripts not starting while server reboots

Sreer — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 12:52:11 GMT

Hi All,
iam facing an issue in my 11.11 box.

There is a script in my "/sbin/rc3.d/S97sysload

script is "S97sysload" which is not getting started while server reboots.
But am able to start manually with out any issue.

rc.log says as:

root@d850vp01:.../rc3.d # cat /etc/rc.log |grep -i sysload
usage: /sbin/init.d/sysload {start|stop}
Output from "/sbin/rc3.d/S97sysload start":

see the starting of the script as manual:

pls see the contents of script:

#!/bin/sh
#Sysload startup script
#
SYSLOAD_CONF=/local/home/sysload/coll/conf
case ${1} in
'start')
if [ -x ${SYSLOAD_CONF}/sldrmd ]; then
echo "Starting Sysload sldrmd..."
${SYSLOAD_CONF}/sldrmd start
fi
sleep 10
if [ -x ${SYSLOAD_CONF}/sldfsd ]; then
echo "Starting Sysload sldfsd..."
${SYSLOAD_CONF}/sldfsd start
fi
;;

'stop')
if [ -x ${SYSLOAD_CONF}/sldfsd ]; then
echo "shutting down sldfsd Sysload ..."
${SYSLOAD_CONF}/sldfsd stop
fi
sleep 5
if [ -x ${SYSLOAD_CONF}/sldrmd ]; then
echo "shutting down sldrmd Sysload ..."
${SYSLOAD_CONF}/sldrmd stop
fi
sleep 10
;;
*)
echo "usage: /sbin/init.d/sysload {start|stop}"
;;
esac

S97sysload: END

Seems it bit confusing me to analyse and to get a work around to solve the issue.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Please remember use full path for commands not found. Or set a global PATH variable to search/execute these commands.

For quick localization of a command: (i.e: dirname):
#whence dirname

Hi Sorry,
Iam not sure about setting the global variable for this issue.

will it be declared in /etc/profile?

in this case how can I solve the issue?

Thanks for help.
My scripting knowledge is poor :-(

Hi,

/etc/profile at booting time by rc process, Are you sure that PATH is loaded?

Hi,

Try set this in your script just for testing purposes:
PATH=`cat /etc/PATH`

Hi Jose,

Thanks for your help.

The PATH variable is already setted in /etc/profile.

as you told do I need to put path info at starting of the script?

#!/bin/sh
#Sysload startup script
#
PATH=`cat /etc/PATH` ====> ???
SYSLOAD_CONF=/local/home/sysload/coll/conf
case ${1} in
'start')

pls correct me If am wrong.

many thanks
Sree

Hi,

Yes, set it there. Also remember export it.
Since when this happens?
Do you verified the existence of each of the executables (not found) by the command "whence"?

Hi Jose again..

The issue is there till starting..after loading the sysload by other people.

The thing is if we run the script manualy its running with out any issue.

The same is not happening via server reboot !
mean via rc3.d.

this is what confusing!

many thnx for help.

What is the ownership (owner:group) and privileges of the script?

Jose Mosquera — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:12:59 GMT

Hi again,

Have you noticed that errors comes from /local/home/sysload/coll/conf/sldrmd file?
local/home/sysload/coll/conf/sldrmd[9]: dirname: not found.
/local/home/sysload/coll/conf/sldrmd[35]: sed: not found.
/local/home/sysload/coll/conf/sldrmd[39]: /coll/pgm/sldrm_coll: not found

Just one of them comes from /sbin/rc3.d/S97sysload file:
/sbin/rc3.d/S97sysload[11]: sleep: not found.

Rgds.

/etc/profile is not run when booting up. /etc/profile is designed for people that login. When your script is run as a start up script, you must set the PATH variable. At the beginning of your script, add this statement:

export PATH=$(cat /etc/PATH)

That will propagate the PATH variable to all the sub-processes.

Also check to make sure that /usr/bin is mounted when you run your script.
