error during startup of deamons

[Davor Bira?]

I have problem with startup of some demons.
Erros report during boot up looks like this:
/sbin/rc2.d/S590Rpcd[30]: B: not found.
/sbin/rc2.d/S600iforls[34]: B: not found.
/sbin/rc2.d/S605Dmisp[30]: B: not found.
/sbin/rc2.d/S648eus[43]: B: not found.
/sbin/rc2.d/S700acct[39]: B: not found.
/sbin/rc3.d/S825apache[74]: B: not found.
/sbin/rc: failed to read row and column info from screen

Deamons are starting up normally, and everything works OK, but this errors are still here.
Does anybody have any idea what could be a problem?

Thanks

You must have some errors in these scripts.
You must check with an editor in every scripts to see what appear at line indicated in [].
Please give me the line content and I'll help you.

Check your /etc/rc.config.d directory (and maybe your /sbin/rc?.d directories) for extraneous entries (possibly named "B"?). Any file within this directory will get sourced during startup.

These are all when the script attempts to load the variables in /etc/rc.config.d It might be that each one of the files in /etc/rc.config.d have a "B" in them for some reason.

[Davor Bira?]

This lines refers to if-loop:

if [ -f /etc/rc.config ] ; then
. /etc/rc.config
else
echo "ERROR: /etc/rc.config defaults file MISSING"
fi

Listing of /etc/rc.config.d is in attachment.

Davor,

The "B" is probably in the files in /etc/rc.config.d directory for example /etc/rc.config.d/Rpcd

[Davor Bira?]

In attachment is listing of /etc/rc.config.d/Rpcd and I don't see anywhere "B"

[Ceesjan van Hattum]

Likely, the /sbin/rc2.d/S590Rpcd is just a link to /sbin/init.d/Rpcd
This script contian the source: look at line 30 of this file.
.. same for other files, like:
line 39 of /sbin/init.d/acct
line 74 of /sbin/init.d/apache
and so on..

can you do a 'ls -la of /sbin/rc2.d/S700acct'
does it really point to /sbin/init.d/acct ?

Regards,
Ceesjan

Links are OK.

Try running /etc/rc.config by itself, and see if that generates any errors. I'm guessing that you have an error in one of your /etc/rc.config.d scripts.

[Fabio Ettore]

Hi Davor,

please in next post insert output of

# ll /etc/rc.config.d
# ll /sbin/init.d

I think about the presence of strange files under there.

Best regards,
Ettore

Hi Can U just rename those files and see what happens -after rebooting ? Do u require those files to start at all (those r not starting the processos at all)? Did u tried to load any software and got the error after failing ?

Hi,

Looks like you have a syntax error in one of teh files under /etc/rc.config.d/ directory.

To find out the problem do the following

cd /etc/rc.config.d
for i in `ls`
do
echo $i
. ./$i
done >> /tmp/rc.out


Look at /tmp/rc.out. You shoudl find the error B somewhere in the output. The file that appears just above it is the culprit.

If there is no obvious "B" in "/sbin/init.d/Rpcd" or "/etc/rc.config.d/Rpcd" then I think we need to look at something less obvious. How about a root alias for "." being a "B" though I'm not sure if the startup scripts read a .profile. Type "alias" as root to see.

How's this for a long shot. I don't believe this is the case but it's worth a look. the last error "/sbin/rc: failed to read row and column info from screen" could suggest a cursor positioning string such as "ESC[B" that is being interpreted by the console as "ESC[" leaving the "B" interpreted as a command. If this is the case, you might need to change the personality of the console screen.

[Davor Bira?]

Thanks to all for help.
There was entry "B" in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf.
