Problem with memory upgrading

vp0619520 · 04-24-2012, 02:49 AM

There is a server need do memory upgrading,and the server will shutdown.I think I should check all of the ongoing service on the service to be sure all the setting and service running properly after server reboot.I found some services on going as below:
Mysql,Apache,sshd,vsftpd,crond,syslogd,udevd.
and I found their start script in the path

Code:

/etc/rc2.d/

.
I need some help,as what should I do?I think I will have a record with these ongoing services,so I can confirm that these services are running correctly after server reboot.Is there any other important thing I should do?Please help.Thanks a lot.

You didn't mention which OS you're using.
Exactly you first need to check which all services are currently running so that after memory upgradation services should properly run. So, for that you can check which all services are currently running by using this command -

Code:

# service --status-all

If you had run chkconfig <service-name> on before memory upgradation then the services will automatically run after you restart your server. And you can check which services has been stopped and need to be restart again.

Thanks a lot for the rapidly response.The OS is Ubuntu 9,and the "chkconfig" has not been installed.I ran this command

Code:

ps -ef

,then I found those services.I also want to know whether I need to backup some config file of those services.

You can install chkconfig on your system like this-

Code:

$ apt-get install libnewt0.52
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.52 /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.50
$ wget http://www.tuxx-home.at/projects/chkconfig-for-debian/chkconfig_1.2.24d-1_i386.deb
$ dpkg --force-all -i chkconfig_1.2.24d-1_i386.deb

It's alternative could be to install install sysv-rc-conf

Code:

$ apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

and then type sysv-rc-conf using the command.

Well there is no need to take the backup of running services' scripts. But it can be a good practice to take the backup of your data and services files.
Good Luck!
