Startup scripts not working

vikramtheking · 06-13-2008, 05:06 AM

I have a tomcat startup script registered as a softlink /etc/rc3.d. It links to a script in /etc/init.d . The format of the script is,

case $1 in
'start')
/bin/su uqq12254 -c "/search/apps/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25-tng/bin/startup.sh"
;;
'stop')
/bin/su uqq12254 -c "/search/apps/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25-tng/bin/shutdown.sh"
;;
esac

The user uqq12254 is definitely existing in the system. A point is, when I run the script manually, it prompts for the password ( this is because of SU I think.. but what I felt it SU shouldnt prompt when the system reboots as root ). Once I give the password, everything works alright. The trouble now is during reboots nothing seems to have started up. There is no indication in the tomcat logs to even say there was a request to start up. So, I feel my startup scripts are not working. Please help me find out where I went wrong.

You could add

Code:

 
set >> /var/log/tomcat-startup.log
echo "$*" >> /var/log/tomcat-startup.log

in the beginning of the script to see if it is run at all. Also, are booting into initlevel 3 or 5?

Init level 5 is shutdown under Solaris.

What is the Solaris release you are running ?

What is the link name in /etc/rc3.d ?

The reboot I m talking about is a hard reboot... The scripts are called,

"S90esearch_tng_tomcat" linking to -> /etc/init.d/esearch_tng_tomcat*

uname gives,
ussunk3:/etc/rc3.d> uname -a
SunOS ussunk3 5.8 Generic_117350-54 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4

one thing .. as per the script it will be "Expecting" some arguments when u will start it ( start or stop ) . are u passing that in the startup ?

jlliagre · 06-14-2008, 05:04 AM

There is no need to pass one. Init scripts are getting an argument, "start" if the filename first letter is "S" and "stop" if it is "K".

Did you add the logging lines as raskin suggested ? Any result ?
