Startup script not work

[aamir4u]

hi,

This is my script

cat .syslog1.sh

cp /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log /c02/oldsyslog/syslog2.`date +%F--%T`

This is link file:--

ln -s /sbin/init.d/.syslog1.sh /sbin/rc2.d/K008.syslog1.sh

ln -s /sbin/init.d/.syslog1.sh /sbin/rc3.d/S992.syslog1.sh

but its not work on server startup.

Additional i am also make configuration file on under /etc/rc.config.d  .syslog1.shconf

cat .syslog1.shconf

#!/sbin/sh
# @(#)B.11.31_LR
# syslog configuration.  See syslog(1m)
#
# .syslog1.sh:  Set to 1 to start .sylog1.sh daemon
#
.syslog1.sh=1

How can its works on server startup time.

Thanks

Where is your: #!/sbin/sh line?

You should model it off of /sbin/init.d/template.  See rc(1m).

Also, you shouldn't really name your script with a leading "." since there is no need to "hide" it.

>ln -s /sbin/init.d/.syslog1.sh /sbin/rc2.d/K008.syslog1.sh

You want to do this on shutdown too?

>.syslog1.sh=1

This is not valid.  Shell variables can't have ".".  Also, it doesn't appear you even use this variable in your .syslog1.sh script.

 >How can it work on server startup time?

If you follow the rules in rc(1m), that should work.

Dear Dennis Thanks 

You want to do this on shutdown too?

How can do on shutdown?

Thanks

>How can do on shutdown?

By having this /sbin/rc2.d/K008.syslog1.sh symlink it will be done.  But does it make sense?

Hi,

I have been done all process,but whenever server boots its not copy syslog.log file on /c02/oldsyslog folder.

and i have changed .syslog1.sh file to syslog1.sh

As we know hpux will move syslog.log to OLDsyslog.log after a reboot ..so we have only OLDsyslog.log and syslog.log after reboot.How to make a custom startup script that will move the syslog.log file away to a safe location each time the system reboots.

Please tell how can do that

Thanks

>but whenever server boots it's not copy syslog.log file on /c02/oldsyslog folder.

Have you looked at /etc/rc.log to see if it was executed?

>HP-UX will move syslog.log to OLDsyslog.log after a reboot .. so we have only OLDsyslog.log and syslog.log after reboot.

I assume from rc.log, this is done with /sbin/rc2.d/S220syslogd and by the time your script is invoked, the file is already OLDsyslog.log.

As I mentioned above, you need to copy /sbin/init.d/template and put your changes in it.

As it is, it will invoke your script for start and start_msg unless you use the template.
