Hi,
My qmail setup is based on the HOW-TO from www.flounder.net. I am using RH
6.2. When I run /etc/rc.d/init.d/svscan start Qmail starts up without any
trouble, however when I restart my server, Qmail is not being started up. I
then have to log into the server and run /etc/rc.d/init.d/svscan start.
Here is the first part of init.d/svscan:
#!/bin/sh -e
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/svscan : start or stop svcan.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting djb services: svscan"
env - PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" svscan /service &
echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid
echo "."
;;
The perms for init.d/svscan are:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 548 Sep 16 04:01 svscan
I have created symlinks in all of my /etc/rc.d/rc*.d files to init.d/svscan
the perms for those symlinks are:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Sep 14 08:17 K30svscan ->
../init.d/svscan
When looking at the other scripts in init.d/ I see that they all have lines
containing:
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
. /etc/sysconfig/network
if [ ${NETWORKING} = "NO" ]
.
.
[ - f /usr/sbin/named ] || exit 0 ]
[ -f /etc/named.conf ] || exit 0 ]
Do I need entries like this in init.d/svscan or does something need to be in
/etc/inittab?
Any pointers to a HOW_TO or guide for using rc.d and init would be
appreciated.
Thanks
David
