Chapter 2: Install PolyServe Matrix Server 31

Administer init.d Scripts

When services such as NFS or Samba are configured on PSFS filesystems,

Matrix Server must be started before the service is started. To ensure that

Matrix Server starts before the service, modify the /etc/init.d script for the

desired service and add pmxs as a dependency.

In the init.d script, locate the line beginning with “# Required-Start:” and

add pmxs to the end of the line. For example, change the /etc/init.d/nfs

script from:

# Required-Start: $network $portmap

to:

# Required-Start: $network $portmap pmxs

Uninstall PolyServe Matrix Server

NOTE: If you need to uninstall Matrix Server before upgrading to a later

version of the product, use the directions in the PolyServe Matrix

Server Upgrade Guide.

The software should be uninstalled from a location outside of the Matrix

Server directory structure. Before removing the software, you will need to

stop Matrix Server. To do this, run the following script:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs stop

Next, uninstall the software:

# rpm -e pmxs

The following message then appears:

Stopping PolyServe Matrix Server

This server needs to be rebooted before Matrix Server can be removed.

After the server has been rebooted, execute the 'rpm -e' command.

Configuring Matrix Server not to start on boot: ..done

'/etc/init.d/pmxs autostart off' has been called to prevent Matrix

Server from starting automatically on boot.
