init.d autostart

[ylafont]

Wondering of anyone could provide guidance on trouble shooting init.d auto start problems and procedures.

I place this script in /etc/init.d
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58850968/scanbd

Chmod it with

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 755 scanbd

ran

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d scandb defaults

but all i get with the update command is

Code: Select all

pi@PiScanner /etc/init.d $ sudo update-rc.d  scanbd defautls
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | SS KK]
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] .
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> disable|enable [S|2|3|4|5]
                -n: not really
                -f: force

Am I missing something? thank you.

Try using the full path to 'scanbd'

[ylafont]

at least that gave something

sudo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/scanbd defaults update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
update-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d//etc/init.d/scanbd

You've got two typos in there:

scanbd & defautls

[ylafont]

You've got two typos in there:
scanbd & defautls

that was done prior to my second cup of coffee this morning. don't know where my head is it today. sorry for the confusion.

previous post have the correct info.

standard file name

Code: Select all

pi@PiScanner /etc/init.d $ sudo update-rc.d scanbd defaults
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
pi@PiScanner /etc/init.d $

command with full path.

Code: Select all

pi@PiScanner /etc/init.d $ sudo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/scanbd defaults
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
update-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d//etc/init.d/scanbd

[RobHenry]

Always best to have plenty of coffee before posting.

Of the two examples you provided the second failed, obviously, because you didn't need the full path, but the first one looks as though it was successful. Did any error messages accompany it?

[ylafont]

Nothing at all. nothing in syslog, messages, kern daemon logs., I did not see the usual response when adding a script to startup.

Code: Select all

oot@skx:~# update-rc.d blah defaults
 Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/blah ...
   /etc/rc0.d/K20blah -> ../init.d/blah
   /etc/rc1.d/K20blah -> ../init.d/blah
   /etc/rc6.d/K20blah -> ../init.d/blah
   /etc/rc2.d/S20blah -> ../init.d/blah
   /etc/rc3.d/S20blah -> ../init.d/blah
   /etc/rc4.d/S20blah -> ../init.d/blah
   /etc/rc5.d/S20blah -> ../init.d/blah

Which begs me to ask if it was working and see what if there is anything else i can check?

[RobHenry]

Have the symbolic links been set up?

Try:

ls /etc/rc*/*scandb*

and see what is returned.

[ylafont]

Code: Select all

pi@PiScanner /etc $ [b]sudo ls /etc/rc*/*scandb*[/b]
ls: cannot access /etc/rc*/*scandb*: No such file or directory
pi@PiScanner /etc $

but...
ls rc* in ./etc/ produces and show them there.

Got It!

The Devil is in the details!!!! Jesus can't believe this.

the script has a line for the executable that needed to point o SBIN rather than BIN

Code: Select all

DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/$NAME

A little error message saying the file could not be found would have saved me hours!


Thanks for the Assistance! and again sorry for the confusion!
