{bb} Not all external scripts started at systemboot.

[Frank Timmers <frank.timmers@philips.com>]

Morning everyone,

I'm running into a weird problem.. At system boot, Big Brother doesn't 
start all external scripts, however when starting bb manually (using the 
system start script) it works ok..

Any ideas anyone?


Greetings,
/Frank.



This is my system start script (/sbin/init.d/bb-client):
#!/sbin/sh
#
# Allowed exit values:
#       0 = success; causes "OK" to show up in checklist.
#       1 = failure; causes "FAIL" to show up in checklist.
#       2 = skip; causes "N/A" to show up in the checklist.
#           Use this value if execution of this script is overridden
#           by the use of a control variable, or if this script is not
#           appropriate to execute for some other reason.
#       3 = reboot; causes the system to be rebooted after execution.
#       4 = background; causes "BG" to show up in the checklist.
#           Use this value if this script starts a process in background 
mode.

# Input and output:
#       stdin is redirected from /dev/null
#
#       stdout and stderr are redirected to the /etc/rc.log file
#       during checklist mode, or to the console in raw mode.

export PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin

# Assume "excluded"
rval=2

case $1 in
'start_msg')
        echo "Starting Big Brother Client processes"
        ;;

'stop_msg')
        echo "Stopping Big Brother Client processes"
        ;;

'start')
        su - bb -c "/opt/bb/bb-client/runbb.sh start" > /dev/null 2>&1
        rval=0
        ;;

'stop')
        su - bb -c "/opt/bb/bb-client/runbb.sh stop" > /dev/null 2>&1
        rval=0
        ;;

*)
        echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|start_msg|stop_msg}"
        rval=1
        ;;
esac

exit $rval

# EOF
