Re: {bb} Problem with BB Startup Script

[steve sayler <Steve.Sayler@noaa.gov>]

Mine script is different .... but, remember that BB must not started as user: root...  and .. if you add the following lines to your (/etc/rc.d/init.d/runbb) script:

# chkconfig: 35 95 05
# description: Big Brother client sowftware.

then you can then do:   "chkconfig --add runbb"  to have it automatically added as a startup at boot time, in run levels 3 & 5.

Here is my /etc/rc.d/init.d/runbb script:

[bbuser@bigbrother-dev-01 init.d]$ cat runbb
#!/bin/sh

# chkconfig: 35 95 05
# description: Big Brother client sowftware.

export BBSLEEP=120

case "$1" in
'start')
        if test -x '/usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh'; then
                exec su - bbuser -c '/usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh start'
        fi
        ;;

'stop')
        if test -x /usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh; then
                exec su - bbuser -c '/usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh stop'
        fi
        ;;

'restart')
        if test -x /usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh; then
                exec su - bbuser -c '/usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh restart'
        fi
        ;;
*)
        echo "usage: /etc/init.d/runbb.sh {start|stop|restart}"
        ;;
esac

I hope this helps,

Hi all,

I have installed Bigbrother1.9i on Red Hat EL4.
I am not able to get the startup script for big brother working. I have pasted the script below which I am using. When I run it manually it works perfect but doesnt start BB at bootup. I have saved this script 'bb' under /etc/rc.d/init.d/bb and have created a link in rc3.d directory as K11bb and S89bb.

#!/bin/sh
#

if [ -x /sbin/runuser ]; then
  RUNUSER=runuser
else
  RUNUSER=su
fi


case "$1" in
'start')
        $RUNUSER - abhi -c "/usr/local/bb/runbb.sh $1"
        ;;

'stop')
        $RUNUSER - abhi -c "/usr/local/bb/runbb.sh $1"
        ;;

*)
        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
        exit 1
esac
exit 0

I am not able to figure out this problem. If someone can help me with this, it will be gr8! My only doubt is that the links might be the problem?

Thank You,
AJ
