Hi all,
I encountered a nice problem today concerning a customized script that I want to start and shutdown automatically. This script is chkconfig compliant (on : 2345 off:016) but I could not see the shutdown line (example : Shutdown Server IPBX [OK])
I solved the problem with creating a /var/lock/subsys/<servername> file, which refers to /etc/init.d/<servername>
Does someone have already been in front of this kind of thing ?
I'm not sure what your problem is, but /var/lock/subsys/<servername> is supposed to be a zero-length lock file indicating that the server in question is running that's created or deleted by /etc/init.d/<servername>, not a link to it.
If you aren't seeing the [OK] messages, are you using the 'success' and 'failure' functions defined in /etc/init.d/functions? (See /etc/init.d/nscd for a relatively simple script that uses these correctly.)
You mention that the script is chkconfig compliant, but did you run 'chkconfig -add servername' for it yet?
What does 'chkconfig --list servername' say?
