HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Routine Management Tasks

1. Decide on run level:

a. See what’s started at run level 2:

ls /sbin/rc2.d/S*

/sbin/rc2.d/S008net.sd

/sbin/rc2.d/S560SnmpMaster

/sbin/rc2.d/S100swagentd

/sbin/rc2.d/S565SnmpHpunix...

b. See what’s started at run level 3:

ls /sbin/rc3.d/S*

/sbin/rc3.d/S100nfs.server

/sbin/rc3.d/S100nfs.server is a link to /sbin/init.d/nfs.server,

which starts up portmap, rpc.mountd, nfsd and related functions. Since

none of these are needed by the web_productname daemon, it is safe to start

it in run level 2, using the placeholder number 900 (see below).

Similarly, we stop the script in run level 1, using the placeholder number 100.

2. Write the start-up/shutdown and configuration scripts.

You can use /sbin/init.d/template as a basis, and create the following

start-up/shutdown script, saving it as /sbin/init.d/web_productname:

#!/sbin/sh

PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin

export PATH

web_productname_daemon="web_productname"

rval=0

killproc()

{

pid=`ps -e | awk '$NF~/'"$1"'/ {print $1}'`

if [ "X$pid" != "X" ]

then

if kill "$pid"

then

echo "$1 stopped"

else

rval=1

echo "Unable to stop $1"

}

case $1 in

'start_msg')

# message that appears in the startup checklist

echo "Starting the web_productname daemon"

;;

'stop_msg')

# message that appears in the shutdown checklist

echo "Stopping the web_productname daemon"

;;

'start')
