I've been having trouble with my server rebooting lately, and trying
to get to the bottom of that issue.
But what I'm noticing a lot is that squid is not starting
automatically on the reboot. The system is Ubuntu Lucid, not
compiled from source. Default runlevel is 2, and squid starting
script is both in /etc/init.d and sym linked in /etc/rc2.d/S20squid
Anyone think of a reason why it won't start? In my very primitive
bash knowledge, I wrote a script into /etc/rc.local that I thought
would test if it's running, wait and loop until it does start. But
even that's not working and the mails aren't getting sent. Doubt
this problem is related, could be an error in the script but when I
test it manually it seems to work as intended.
#!/bin/sh -e
ps ax | grep squid | grep -v grep
while [ $? -ne 0 ]; do
mail -s "squid not started" root < /dev/null
service squid start
sleep 60
ps ax | grep squid | grep -v grep
done
Any ideas?
