Not able to create a link in /etc/rc3.d in Solaris 10
HI I am using solaris 10.We are doing some failover testing and checking whether services are starting up when we reboot the server.

As part of process i have moved scripts to /etc/init.d directory and trying to create a link /etc/rc3.d like this.

But strangely it is giving an error eventhough there is no file or directoy exists with the samename.

Code:










Code:



root@dcwipvmvom002:/etc/rc3.d # ls -rl
total 24
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          17 Mar 14 06:14 S98gmdid -> /etc/init.d/gmdid
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          15 Mar 14 06:13 S97vma -> /etc/init.d/vma
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          15 Mar 14 06:13 S86spa -> /etc/init.d/spa
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          18 Mar 14 06:13 S85orderg -> /etc/init.d/orderg

root@dcwipvmvom002:/etc/rc3.d # pwd
/etc/rc3.d
 
 ln /etc/init.d/ingres* S82ingres
ln: S82ingres not found









 

Appreciate your quick help on this.

(Please use CODE tags not ICODE tags!)

ln did odd things because ingres* matched twice.

Do the following




Code:



diff /etc/init.d/ingres_shutdown_script /etc/init.d/ingres_startup_script







If there is really a difference, then link to the startup script:




Code:



ln -s /etc/init.d/ingres_startup /etc/rc3.d/S82ingres







-s is a soft link (like the others).

Hi bot the scripts are different.

You can't have one link point to two (or more) files. 

Here, you need a start "link" and a "stop" link, usually distinguished by the initial letter:




Code:



ln -s /etc/init.d/ingres_startup_script /etc/rc3.d/S82ingres
ln -s /etc/init.d/ingres_shutdown_script /etc/rc3.d/K82ingres
