I got a strange problem with init.d scripts on a fully updated (as of today) fresh install of 5.5 x64.
I've written a script, /etc/init.d/Fast that starts a fairly large and slow
commercial application, by calling that applications control binary to do the
actual work.
I "registered" the script, via chkconfig --add Fast, and the symlinks are in
the expected places.
[r...@rpmbuilder etc]# ls /etc/rc*/*Fast
/etc/rc0.d/K10Fast /etc/rc4.d/S90Fast
/etc/rc1.d/K10Fast /etc/rc5.d/S90Fast
/etc/rc2.d/K10Fast /etc/rc6.d/K10Fast
/etc/rc3.d/S90Fast
[r...@rpmbuilder etc]# ls -la init.d/Fast
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2691 Nov 9 16:49 init.d/Fast
[r...@rpmbuilder etc]#
Testing the script, both via "/etc/init.d/Fast start" and "service Fast start"
works, and it fully works for the implemented "start","stop","status" commands.
"/etc/rc0.d/K10Fast stop" works as expected. (as does /etc/rc1,2,6 etc..)
The script contains full paths to everything.
At boot, the script functions as expected.
My problem is that at reboot, via shutdown -r or shutdown -h the script does
NOT get called, so naturally the system doesn't get to clean up after itself,
then it fails to startup correctly next boot.
The startup and shutdown of this application is slow, 2+ minutes. I know it
doesn't work at reboot or halt because the host goes down fast, and the system
is littered with left over pid files and such that prevents a clear restart of
the Fast process.
I've placed echo commands in the script, both in the stop() function to log the
date/time to a file when it's called, and in the head of the script itself,
just to see if it gets called at all during shutdown.
As far as I can tell, the script does NOT get called at shutdown/reboot time.
At all.
I'm just confused, this ain't supposed to be this hard... Is there some way to
debug init?
Suggestions?
Thanks
