While running under root user it work fine

we want execute this script on server startup

/sbin/rc1.d & rc2.d like

bash-3.2# pwd

/sbin/rc2.d
bash-3.2# ls -l S99dbora
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 18 Apr 25 23:05 S99dbora -> /sbin/init.d/dbora

bash-3.2# pwd
/sbin/rc1.d
bash-3.2# ls -l K100dbora
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 18 Apr 25 23:04 K100dbora -> /sbin/init.d/dbora

Common issue for this is missing PATH to the commands.
If you execute the scrips as any user you have a path to used in script binaries.

Use full patch in script - like /usr/bin/ping

or set PATH with appropriate values.

Please provide the output of:

ls -l /sbin/init.d/dbora

You should note that scripts have to be shut down in the reverse order to that in which they are started. To achieve this, you should make sure your K and S numbers add up to 1000.

Well, that's not real helpful. What didn't work? Did you get any error messages? Was anything displayed on the console during the reboot? Did you check the /etc/rc.log file to see if there were any messages there?

Hi Shabir

Try to put it in rc3.d directory. and restart the server.

hi Shabir,

this seems to be a known issue. Try above run-level 2.

hope this helps!

hi again,


please refer to metalink note: 1074016.6 - 'dbora' does not work on Redhat linux.

Solution:
You will need to change the link to run level 3.

From:
ln -s /sbin/init.d/dbora /sbin/rc2.d/S99dbora

To:
ln -s /sbin/init.d/dbora /sbin/rc3.d/S99dbora


Explanation:
Linux uses run level 3 instead of run 2 by default for multi-user access.



hope this helps!
