Background script to be run

Prashantj — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 09:04:41 GMT

Hi Guru,

I am working on sap and IVM environment. I want to set the following script in background always. If server is reboot in that case also the script should automatically starts.

cd /usr/sap/saprouter
./saprouter -r -K "p:CN=rusolman, OU=0001128964, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE"

Regards
Prashant

If you want the script to run all the time and to be automatically started, you might want to look into rc(1m):

cp /sbin/init.d/template /sbin/init.d/sap

ln -s /sbin/init.d/sap /sbin/rc4.d/s900sap
ln -s /sbin/init.d/sap /sbin/rc3.d/k100sap

vi /sbin/init.d/sap

look for the section that says start command and put the line in there.

look for the section that says stop command and put a command to stop the application there.

If you need to ensure the router is always running you could get the init process to manage it. Put a line similar to this into /etc/inittab.

sap1:2345:respawn:/usr/sap/saprouter/saprouter -r -K "p:CN=rusolman, OU=0001128964, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE"

Where "sap1" is a unique label. The process will always be started in any of the listed run levels (2,3,4 or 5)

and then call the following command to start it:

init q

See the documentation for more information:
man init
man inittab

To inhibit the process from running, comment out the line in /etc/inittab, call init q and then kill any running saprouter processe(s).

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. i put the following entry in /etc/inittab and run init q but it was not worked out.

sap1:2345:respawn:/usr/sap/saprouter/rulsaprouter/saprouter -r -K "p:CN=rusolman, OU=0001128964, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE"

Please advice any other changes require ?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Prashant,

1) did you enter the string as a one-liner in /etc/inittab?

2) Any messages about your entry in the syslog?

Hi Peter,

1) Yes, the string is in one line

2) NO.
