boot/init Startup not working on suse 10

kevin_robson · Post by **kevin_robson** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:18 am

Has anyone managed ZM to start automatically at boot in Suse 10? I've seen a few articles on here with various problems/solutions but I still cant get mine to start.
I've tried two ways:
Copy scripts/zm to /etc/init.d, removed functions line, and linked to rc3.d and rc5.d
Nothing much happens at boot. But if I run manually from root it starts fine.

I then wrote my own script that just runs zmpkg.pl (I think that is the script - not in front of my PC now) - that shows errors at boot complaining about not being able to open sock file. As I'm root at startup I dont see how - or is it something to do with mysql not being fully up? Or do I need extra env variables that aren't set at boot?

If anyone has this working I'd appreciate some help.
Thanks

Hi,

insert into /etc/init.d/.depend.start

Code: Select all

name_of_zm_startscript: mysql

zm now only will start if mysql is running.

insert into /etc/init.d/.depend.stop

Code: Select all

mysql: apache2 name_of_zm_startscript

to prevent error messages zm has to be stopped before mysql.

or change /etc/sysconfig/boot

Code: Select all

## Type:        yesno
## Default:     yes
#
# Run all scripts or rather start/stop all services
# which are independent from each other in parallel.
#
RUN_PARALLEL=no

Regards,

Rainer

Thanks. Will try it tonight.
Which of the two methods is best - copying the zm script or using my own based on zmpkg.pl?
I'd prefer to use the zm script - I assume this works?

I managed to get it working, here's what I posted in the hints & tips section...

I finally managed to get it to work on boot up to get it working just do...

cd /etc/init.d/rc5.d
ln -s ../zm S10zm
ln -s ../zm K10zm

Now mine safely boot's up and shut's down.

Hope this helps you Mark!

Have done all you both suggested but still the same problem. Below is an extract from the shutting down log. When booting I get the same message - what file do I see this boot log in?

Any ideas?

Has nobody any ideas?
Booting zm in suse seems to be a regular problem.

Hi,
you have to take care of mysql is running before zm starts and before zm stops.

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d # ls -la rc3.d/ | grep zm
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    5 Jun 21 07:32 K09zm -> ../zm
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    5 Jun 21 07:32 S13zm -> ../zm
suserv1:/etc/init.d # ls -la rc3.d/ | grep mysql
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    8 Jun 17  2005 K10mysql -> ../mysql
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   15 Jun 19 18:47 S01mysql-repchk -> ../mysql-repchk
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    8 Jun 17  2005 S12mysql -> ../mysql

In runlevel 3 here mysql is starting before zm and stopping after zm . Same in runlevel 5.

Code: Select all

cat .depend.start | grep zm
zm: mysql

Code: Select all

cat .depend.stop | grep zm
mysql: apache2 zm

My /etc/init.d/zm looks like

Code: Select all

#
# /etc/init.d/zm
#

#
# /usr/sbin/rczm

Hi Rainier,

This looks useful, would you mind putting it onto the Wiki if it's not there already as we get lots of questions about SuSE start scripts.

Cheers

Strange.
I was just about to try this suggestion but I rebooted first, and it worked this time.
Not sure why it wasn't working previously.

Thanks all for your help

rmo - script for version 1.22.3

just have to change 2 lines
1. version="1.22.3"
2. ZM_PACH_BIN="/usr/local/bin"
