custom init.d script will start but won't stop
 

Hey all, I've written a custom init.d script that will basically run a script /root/home/scripts/startup on startup and then when the server is shutting down run /root/home/scripts/shutdown.

I've run chkconfig --add testscript and it does have correct sym links for S and K in rc3.d,rc5.d, rc0.d, rc6.0.

Can anybody suggest anything? Sorry I've also posted this in the Red Hat forum. I'm running Red Hat Enterprise 4.0.

Thanks,

Naught. Naughty. You're only supposed to post in one forum. If you think you chose the wrong one you should ask the moderator to move it. :tisk:
