Run Control Script

[susee_sundar]

I want to run the following script while system Booting & need to Halt at runlevel 2..

THE SCRIPT /data/BACKUP

I WANT TO START IN RUNLEVEL 3 & KILL AT LEVEL 2.
PlS PROVIDE ME THE SCRIPT FILE THAT WILL DO THIS ...

The script that needs to pasted to init.d directory....

Shalom,

/sbin/init.d/BACKUP

It must be a script based on /sbin/init.d/template that accepts start and stop commands. If not, you need a new script.

Lets say it complies

cd /sbin/rc3.d
ln -s /sbin/init.d/BACKUP S900backup

cd /sbin/rc2.d
ln -s /sbin/init.d/BACKUP K100backup


If the script itself is right everything else will work.

If this backup is big it will significantly slow down your system start and stop process.

Thats the Problem...I dont know how to make a template script..


Can anybody able to Provide me the same for the script Backup

The /sbin/init.d/template script already exists. It is an example of how a start/stop script should be. Copy it and edit it to suit your needs.

Hi:

You can obtain a complete understanding of the startup requirements by examining the manpages for 'rc(1m)' and/or the document below:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60127/rc.1M.html

http://docs.hp.com/en/934/startup.pdf

As already noted, you should model your script after '/sbin/init.d/template'.

Regards!
