Hi Nickolas, Try to modify the start and stop script as follows. # cat /etc/init.d/ora-as1 #!/bin/sh # # Startup script for Oracle AS 10g R2 # chkconfig: 345 86 14 # # description: Bla bla bla start() { su -c "opmnctl startall" - ora-as1 su -c "emctl start iasconsole" - ora-as1 touch /var/lock/subsys/ora-as1 } stop() { wall "Stopping ora-as1" echo "`date` - Stopping ora-as1" >> /var/log/oracleas10gr2.log su -c "emctl stop iasconsole" - ora-as1 su -c "opmnctl stopall" - ora-as1 rm -f /var/lock/subsys/ora-as1 } i.e add "touch /var/lock/subsys/ora-as1" in start() function and add "rm -f /var/lock/subsys/ora-as1" in your stop() function. This will work.

The script works fine (start/stop/restart) when called from a bash prompt and it's launched at system startup with no problem. The issue is that it's no called at all when the system shuts down, I checked runlevels, permissions for the script, I even put some "wall" and "echo" in it... I try different priorities, different script names, different shells, it's always the same. The only particularity of the script is that the commands I launch need to run under a user with no privileges, I use "su" for that. (Once again, everything works when it's called from a shell, so doesn't seem to be "su"-related and the "wall" and "echo" command that should be exectued in root aren't executed) I have absolutely no idea why this happens... ======================================================================== = # ls -l /etc/init.d/ora-as1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 617 Dec 9 14:45 /etc/init.d/ora-as1 ======================================================================== = # cat /etc/init.d/ora-as1 #!/bin/sh # # Startup script for Oracle AS 10g R2 # chkconfig: 345 86 14 # # description: Bla bla bla start() { su -c "opmnctl startall" - ora-as1 su -c "emctl start iasconsole" - ora-as1 } stop() { wall "Stopping ora-as1" echo "`date` - Stopping ora-as1" >> /var/log/oracleas10gr2.log su -c "emctl stop iasconsole" - ora-as1 su -c "opmnctl stopall" - ora-as1 } # See how we were called case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) stop start ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" esac exit 0 ======================================================================== = # find /etc/rc* -type l -name "*ora-as1*" /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K14ora-as1 /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K14ora-as1 /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S86ora-as1 /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S86ora-as1 /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K14ora-as1 /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S86ora-as1 /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K14ora-as1 ======================================================================== = # chkconfig --list ora-as1 ora-as1 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ======================================================================== = Any idea? -- Nicolas SASKEN BUSINESS DISCLAIMER ------------------------- This message may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.
