Problems getting a startup script starting at the correct time

BrianK · 11-11-2005, 08:23 PM

I have a pretty simple startup script:

Code:

#! /bin/sh
#
# Author: BK
#
# /etc/init.d/queueup
#
# System startup script for Dr Queue
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: queueup
# Required-Start: $network $nfs $ypbind
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop:
# Description: Logs us into Dr Queue
### END INIT INFO

. /etc/rc.status

echo "Logging into dr queue"
su ivan -c slave

rc_exit

but when I run insserv on it, it links up in the rc dirs as S07queueup - before nfs & ypbind - and therefore does not work being that it has no idea who "ivan" is (an nis user), nor where the contents of slave are (on an nfs mount).

I tried manually changing S07 to S99, but it still loads at the same time during bootup - before nfs & ypbind.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Did you change to S99 in both /etc/rc5.d and /etc/rc3.d ?

Also there is a way to tell inserv what number you want the service to have but I can't remember what it is now. Using chkconfig you would have a line like this in the script:
# chkconfig 35 99
Which told chkconfig to start the service in runlevels 3 and 5 and give it the number of S99 or K99.

I only changed in 3, but that's the runlevel of this machine.

I didn't think you used chkconfig with Suse's LSB?

edit: nevermind about that last line - I see that's what you're saying.

Maybe put a line in the script like this:

while [ -z "`pidof nfsd`" ] ;do
sleep 1
done

<edit> That may not work if nfs and ypbind are not starting in background but maybe this might work:

[ -z "`pidof nfsd`" ] && /etc/init.d/nfs start
[ -z "`pidof ypbind`" ] && /etc/init.d/ypbind start
