Centos 6.6 /etc/init.d/rc.local doesn't run the command after restart
 

Hi

I am using shinx and i have on instructions to execute a command after server restart from rc.local so i do this:


end i add the command there save and exit:

But when i restart is not running and it was fine on Centos 6.5 :(

Then i run it manualy from ssh and all are fine ....

Any ideas why?

Thanks

have you made /etc/init.d/rc.local executable?

no should i ? and how?

I thought that should be already made by the system.....

You add the commands to be run in the /etc/rc.local file. The init.d script executes that file.

So why is not running and what can i do for it?

In a nutshell scripts are actually run from the /etc/rcx.d directory where x is the run level. If you look in rc5.d you will see that S99local is a link to the /etc/rc.local. Add the desired commands to the /etc/rc.local.

So can i just add my command to /etc/rc.local and it will run after restart ?

Yes

Thanks !!!

But it doesn't works right? because /etc/rc.local is a symbolic link of /etc/init.d/rc.local
I am having the same issue. I'm going to rebuild my vps with centos 7.0 and lean "systemd"

Domination,
CentOS 6 does not have an /etc/init.d/rc.local. Different distributions / versions have different methods for running a rc.local script. Actually sphinx is in the CentOS repositories so if installed via yum it should be a service so no need for rc.local. Just set the service to start at boot.

Your issue may or may not be similar but without any details we can not help.
