GOTCHA!!!! I always have read that running services using service command is safer than using the script directly the key is that service runs the script with env -i (with an empty enviroment) so if there is any wrong variable you are protected. My problem is that in /etc/profile.d/ I have defined a wrong variable and when I run /etc/init.d/httpd status the scripts runs with the corrupt enviroment. with service you allways run with an empty enviroment so I don´t get the error. Thank you all for your help. I hope it gives a bit of light about it ;-) ESG 2011/10/4 Daniel Carrillo <daniel.carrillo@xxxxxxxxx> > 2011/10/4 Barry Brimer <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>: > >> I use service and running the command in /etc/init.d/ directly to run > the > >> services in that directory.
