Help: Startup script

aloneattack · 03-05-2008, 09:25 PM

Hi, I'm attempting to create a startup script for krb5kdc daemon to start automatically at the booting of system.
And here is my content of krb5kdc script:

Code:

*************************************************************************************
#! /bin/bash
#
# krb5kdc          Start/Stop the krb5kdc daemon.
#
# chkconfig: - 9 60
# description:
# processname: krb5kdc
# config:
# pidfile:

# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions

RETVAL=0

# See how we were called.

prog="krb5kdc"

start() {
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
        daemon krb5kdc
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/krb5kdc
        return $RETVAL
}

stop() {
        echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
        killproc krb5kdc
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/krb5kdc
        return $RETVAL
}

rhstatus() {
        status krb5kdc
}

restart() {
        stop
        start
}

reload() {
        echo -n $"Reloading krb5kdc daemon configuration: "
        killproc krb5kdc -HUP
        retval=$?
        echo
        return $RETVAL
}

case "$1" in
  start)
        start
        ;;
  stop)
        stop
        ;;
  restart)
        restart
        ;;
  reload)
        reload
        ;;
  status)
        rhstatus
        ;;
  krb5kdcrestart)
        [ -f /var/lock/subsys/krb5kdc ] && restart || :
        ;;
  *)
        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|reload|restart|krb5kdcrestart}"
        exit 1
esac

exit $?

*************************************************************************************

then I place this file in /etc/rc.d/init.d directory and use

chkconfig --add krb5kdc

I got :

service krb5kdc does not support chkconfig

Any suggestion please.

Thank you.

Your header doesn't look right. Look at the skeleton file and other service startup scripts as a model. Chkconfig can be thought of as a front end for insserv. You are missing the runlevel and dependency information:

# Required-Stop:

### END INIT INFO

This isn't from a Red Hat system, so look at the headers on your system and read the insserv manpage.

hi, the line of "*" actually is not in my script, just in my post for getting help, and, I copied the content of a real script in /etc/init.d then attempted to replace appropriate service name.
"-" means auto runlevels, I also replace "-" by 2345 for runlevels 2,3,4,5 but after all still no effort.
