Dear Friend ,

I am using oracle9.2.0.4 in RHEL4 . I want a situation where the following two services ( which is used as "oracle" user) are always automatically up when the machine is starting :


/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/agentctl

/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl

Plz give me some solution . How can I start these service during boot time of the pc .

add it to startup in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

echo "/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/agentctl" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

echo "/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

or you can write a script that will handle the start/stop of these, put it inside init.d and add it to your init using chkconfig add.

prozac,

Thx for ur advice . According to ur advice I make Script name "test" using the following Lines :

echo "/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/agentctl" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
echo "/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Now u tell me
"add it to your init using chkconfig add"
Plz tell me the procedure little bit briefly How can I add my script "test" with chkconfig so that it runs automatically during bootup the pc .

My another question is,What it the basic difference

"/etc/rc.d/rc.local" and "/etc/rc.d/init.d" .

Waiting for ur reply ... ...

These lines appended to rc.local are enough to make agentctl and apache to run at every system boot. This is the preferred way to go.

However, you can also write a script to start/stop apache and others just like the other scripts inside init.d (you can copy a matching script then edit it to suit for apache and the other). These scripts should be inside the init.d directory. then you can do 'chkconfig add new-script-name' which will make it visible to ntsysv menu from where you can enable/disable it to run it at boot times just like all the others already there.

Shipon please read over this page it will answer all the questions you have.
