The init-script is not started during reboot

thomas2004ch · 08-07-2013, 12:43 AM

Hi,

I have an init-script under /ect/init.d called jboss5. I've added this to the chkconfig. This means, if I reboot the machine, this init-script will be started. But it doesn't. I have to start it manually.

What could be the reason?

did you make it executable? ( chmod 755 )
does it start with a shebang? ( #!/bin/sh )
do you have appropriate symlinks in /etc/rc*.d?

Does it have the correct ownerships? (& everything Firerat asked)
Run

Code:

chkconfig --list jboss5

to check its turned on for the correct runlevel(s)

It's executable, otherwise I can't start it manually.

Yes, it beginns with #!/bin/sh

It has appropriate symlinks in /etc/rc3.d

It has the correct ownerships. It's owned by root.

chkconfig --list jboss5 shows:

Code:

# chkconfig --list jboss5
jboss5        0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

I have other init-scripts and have the same configurations and they work fine.

Is it dependent on other service(s)?
for instance, does it need a working network connection and if so it is 'ordered' to start _after_ required service(s)

@thomas2004ch: Are you aware of this page: StartJBossOnBootWithLinux

It's independent. Otherwise I can't start it manually, right?

I know this page. In the fact there is Jboss5 and Jboss7 on this machine. The init-script starting Jboss7 works fine. I wonder why the init-script for Jboss5 not. But as I said, when I start it manually there is no problem.

Nope, that's the wrong assumption. If your start it manually, your box is already fully booted and all services are available.

If jboss is started during the boot process it could be that some services that jboss relies on aren't yet started. Have a look at the link I posted, it shows that the jbos init-script has a high number, this to make sure other services are up and running before jboss is started.

The init-script for Jboss5 has following code at the beginning:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
# JBoss Control Script for Jboss5
#
# chkconfig: 3 81 02
...

And the init-script for Jboss7 has following code at the beginning:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
# JBoss Control Script for Jboss5
#
# chkconfig: 3 80 20
...

One can see the Jboss5 has a higher number than that of Jboss7. But the Jboss7 could be started during reboot. This wonders me.

I just noticed this thread you posted: init-script for Solaris

Question: Is the above done on Linux or Solaris?

druuna · 08-07-2013, 04:45 AM

Sorry for the double post (slow or hanging LQ connections, been this way for over a week now).

That's another question abou tinit-script for Solaris. It's solved. By Solaris I use the SMF.

My init-script here is for RedHat LINNUX. It's quite different with that of Solaris.

The header in the init script doesn't necessarily reflect the correct init-script name. Can you post the output of:

Code:

ls -l /etc/rc*d/*jboss*
