Startup script issue

sen_ux — Mon, 25 May 2009 01:55:33 GMT

Hi,

I have an application startup script which does not start properly when the server comes up.But it starts fine if we run it manually.
Upon checking the error logs, we found errors with variables.
Would it be fine to source the varibales to this script.? If this is a source issue, how does it work once the server is fully up and running the script manually.?

Regards
SEN

Hello Sen,
what is script which you need to start with server starup?

you need to check /sbin/init.d
when hpux system startup /etc/inittab calls /sbin/rc, which in turn calls execution scripts to start subsystems.There are four components to this method of startup and shutdown: /sbin/rc, execution scripts, configuration variable scripts, and link files.
/sbin/rc
This script invokes execution scripts based on run levels. It is also known as the startup and shutdown sequencer script.
Execution scripts
These scripts start up and shut down various subsystems and are found in the /sbin/init.d directory.

Why not.

>If this is a source issue, how does it work once the server is fully up and running the script manually?

Are you expected to define these variables in /etc/profile or ~/.profile?

rc scripts should only use variables defined in /etc/rc.config.d/. If you need variables from your application directory, you should source them from your file in /etc/rc.config.d.

Hi Dennis,

Can I source it from the existing configuration file or I have to copy the application configuration files to /etc/rc.config.d .?

Thanks
SEN

Hello sen,
you can copy from any existing script, but you need to modify it accordingly.

Either one, I would do the former, so you don't have two copies to maintain.
